Configuration policies and patch management (disable windows updates?)

Just a question:

If I set a configuration policy on an agent that enables "Control via Atera’s IT automation profiles" but then do not enable any automation profiles on the agent does this effectively disable windows updates?

    Does anyone have any insight on this, or should I be asking support?

    Heya!

    Saw you also asked in the subreddit, copying the response from there:
    Yes, Windows Updates are disabled. In atera you will see the missing updates, on the machine itself it says "everything up to date". If you don't install the missing updates via Atera, the machine will not update.
