I know you said they are trying to go serverless, but how about Salt or Ansible?

Good question - he could just as easily use Intune or an MDM solution (like SodiumSuite).

Intune cost extra.

A lot extra.

Have you looked through a system that does have GPO to find the manner in which it is applying this update?

Dashrender

I created a new GPO, made this setting:

Then found the UID for the policy

Found the policy

Unicode=yes
[Version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
Revision=1
[Registry Values]
MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\InactivityTimeoutSecs=4,900

This points to the same place that others have pointed out, but seems to have two values 4 and 900, I'm assuming it's to set the type.
