Why might the automatic installation of windows updates not start initially?

Question

Windows

Good day.
There is a park of computers with Windows 7, as well as AD. On all computers, windows update settings are configured by default, that is, automatically download and update on a specific day and time. But on some computers, there is the following feature - the first launch of updates on the computer does not occur automatically. That is, windows downloads updates, but does not install them until you manually click the "Install updates" button, after which the license agreement from MS appears. After accepting the agreement, the installation of updates begins and then it always takes place automatically.
The question is, is it possible to do something so that you don’t have to start installing updates manually for the first time on the computer, but they always go through automatically?

How to Fix Windows Update Errors
In order to fix many errors when installing and downloading Windows 7, 8, and Windows 10 updates, it can be as simple as resetting Windows Update completely. I'll show you how to do it automatically. In addition to resetting, the suggested script will start the required service if you get a message that Updater is not running.
Briefly about what happens when you run the following commands:
1. Services are stopped: Windows Update, BITS Background Intelligent Transfer Service, Cryptographic Services.
2. Update center service folders catroot2, SoftwareDistribution, downloader are renamed to catrootold, etc. (which, if something went wrong, can be used as backups).
3.All previously stopped services are started again.
To use the script, open Windows Notepad and copy the commands below into it. After that, save the file with the .bat extension - this will be the script for stopping, resetting and restarting Windows Update.

@ECHO OFF
echo Sbros Windows Update
echo.
PAUSE
echo.
attrib -h -r -s %windir%\system32\catroot2
attrib -h -r -s %windir%\system32\catroot2\*.*
net stop wuauserv
net stop CryptSvc
net stop BITS
ren %windir%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old
ren %windir%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\application data\Microsoft\Network\downloader" downloader.old
net Start BITS
net start CryptSvc
net start wuauserv
echo.
echo Gotovo
echo.
PAUSE

After the file is created, right-click on it and select "Run as administrator", you will be prompted to press any key to start, after which all the necessary actions will be performed in order (press any key again and close the command line).
And finally, be sure to restart your computer. Immediately after the reboot, go back to the Update Center and see if the errors while searching for, downloading and installing Windows updates have disappeared.
Unfortunately, not all possible Windows update errors can be solved using the above method (although many do). If the method did not help you, then pay attention to the following possible options:
⦁ Try setting DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in your Internet connection
settings ⦁ Check if all the necessary services are running (the list was given earlier)
⦁ If you do not upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 through the store can be completed), try installing all available updates through the Update Center first.
⦁ Search the web for the reported error code to find out exactly what the problem is.
