Open the Windows 10 start menu, type gpedit.msc into the search, and click the icon to open it.
In the computer configuration section expand administrative templates > windows components. Open the Windows update category.
Once you've opened up the Windows update category, double-click the configure automatic updates icon.
In the top left section of the window select enabled. Under configure automatic updates: choose option 4 - auto download and schedule the install. Now choose a Scheduled install time (we recommend 1:00am). Scroll down and enable the install updates for other Microsoft products option. Click apply.
Restart Windows to apply these changes.
