Allow Updates in OOBE

This policy allows you to configure whether a new device gets critical updates during the out-of-box experience. If you disable or do not configure this policy, new devices will not receive critical updates during the out-of-box experience. If you enable the policy, new devices will receive the latest approved critical updates during the out-of-box experience. Notes: This policy does not control the zero-day patch (ZDP) updates page in OOBE. If you have paused quality updates through Windows quality update deferrals and pause policies, no quality updates will be delivered during the out-of-box experience.
