Remarks

Featured update notifications are only supported on Windows Vista and above. On Windows XP systems running versions of the Windows Update Agent (WUA) that support IAutomaticUpdatesSettings3, the IAutomaticUpdatesSettings3::FeaturedUpdatesEnabled value will always be VARIANT_FALSE, and attempting to alter its value will result in an error.

Featured update notifications are only supported when Automatic Updates is turned on. If Automatic Updates is set to “Never check for updates (not recommended),” then the IAutomaticUpdatesSettings3::FeaturedUpdatesEnabled value will always be VARIANT_FALSE, and attempting to alter its value will result in an error.

Featured update notifications are only supported on certain update services. Currently, the only supported update service is Microsoft Update. If Automatic Updates is currently configured to receive updates from another service (from Windows Update, or from a WSUS server), then the IAutomaticUpdatesSettings3::FeaturedUpdatesEnabled value will always be VARIANT_FALSE, and attempting to alter its value will result in an error.
