    Please help me get rid of this error.

    I always disable Windows getting info / drivers for my devices as I prefer installing the manufacturer drivers myself so when on the initial customization screen of Windows 8.1, I turn that feature off.

    Now even after doing all the Windows updates and hiding the driver updates then installing all my drivers, every restart I would get a lot of errors.....

    Event ID 22 = Access to drivers on Windows Update was blocked by policy

    Event ID 200 = A connection to the Windows Update service could not be established.

    Event ID 201 = A connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS) could not be established.

    Event ID 202 = The Network List Manager reports no connectivity to the internet. (but I am connected to the internet)

    Event ID 10010 = The server {F9717507-6651-4EDB-BFF7-AE615179BCCF} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
    ================================================================

    With regards to the EVENT ID 22, I googled that then applied the following registry entry but it didn't help:

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching]
    “DontSearchWindowsUpdate”=dword:00000001
    “DontPromptForWindowsUpdate”=dword:00000001
    “DontSearchCD”=dword:00000001
    “DontSearchFloppies”=dword:00000001
    “SearchOrderConfig”=dword:00000000
    
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Device Metadata]
    “PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork”=dword:00000001
