Windows 8 pro, update settings is grayed out.

Hi,
I use windows 8 pro in my laptop with a microsoft live account. The os is activated. Today in the notification centre I got a message about "view windows update settings".

When I clicked on the message I saw that "change settings" option is grayed out.

Then I open windows update from control panel and open "change settings" from there. And I saw that the type of how to install important update option is grayed out saying that "some settings are managed by your system administrator".

Though I am system administrator and I am the only one. There is no other user. And before today there was no such problem. Can anybody tell me what is happening and how to solve it?
Thanks.

Anyone?

Go to "User Accounts" and change your account type to"Administrator".

1. Try running, the Windows update troubleshooter.
2. Check using group policy editor under Windows update.
3. If all else fails, it might be due to a corrupt user profile.

Solved using group policy editor. Thanks.
