Type Regedit in RUN or Start search box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.
Now go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
Create a new key under Windows key and set its name as WindowsUpdate
Create another new key under WindowsUpdate key and set its name as AU

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
Now select AU key and in right-side pane create a new DWORD AUOptions and set its value to any of following according to your requirements:
2 - (To notify for download and notify for install)
3 - (To auto download and notify for install)
4 - (To auto download and schedule the install)
5 - (To allow local admin to choose setting)
