}Refer to the exhibit. You apply this device configuration profile to a group of Windows 10 devices. Users report that they receive update notifications outside of active hours. Which setting should you modify to suppress notifications during active hours?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse active hours (which control update installation timing) with notification suppression, leading them to incorrectly choose modifying active hours instead of the dedicated notification control setting.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set updateNotificationLevel to 'turnOffAllNotifications'.
The setting updateNotificationLevel controls whether Windows Update displays notifications to users. Setting it to 'turnOffAllNotifications' suppresses all update notifications, including those that appear outside of active hours. This is the correct configuration to prevent users from seeing update notifications during active hours.
