Windows update group policy not applying to Widnows 8 workstations

[AWS]

The GP settings for Windows Update configuration on my domain don't ever apply to Windows 8 workstations in the domain. Opening GP Edit on an on a Windows 8 administrative workstation shows the policies that I want to see on Windows 8, but when I open a

local GP Edit on the same Windows 8 workstation, the settings aren't applied. I have tried forcing gpupdate and get no error related to it, yet it never applies. Correct me if I am wrong, but the WindowsUpdate.admx file on the workstation should be referenced

while using the GP editor from that workstation, so it doen't appear to be a problem with the admx file being used.

 

The settings are all in Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Update. They are appearing on Windows 7 workstations. I have m WSUS server set there, etc., buy the workstations are not getting the updates from WSUS.

 

What do I neded to do to get the Windows 8 settings to work as expected?
