Windows Central Question

I'm running Windows 10 on a Surface Book that's part of a domain. IT pushed out a Group Policy update that disabled my access to Windows Update.

If I open Settings > Update & Security it just shows Windows Defender information.

I have admin access to my PC and permission to make updates to my local Group Policy.

I'm looking through these two GP folders:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Component > Windows Update

and

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Component > Windows Update

I can't seem to find the right setting in either folder. I'm sure I'm missing something blindingly obvious, but could someone point me in the right direction please? Thank you.
