bendejo Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Running Windows 10 on a laptop, legit installation. Recently when looking at the Windows Update window I starting getting the message: Your device is missing important security and quality fixes. I am not offered any updates or a way of fixing this. I've looked this up, seems it has been around for a while and most of the wisdom on the net is about getting rid of the annoying message rather seeing it as a warning of something amiss. First noticed it a few weeks ago, didn't see before the July updates. Is anyone else getting this? I'm wondering if this is a way of MS goading users to upgrade to Win 11.

BigStar Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Did you press the Check for Updates button? You can try the troubleshooter. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-update-troubleshooter-19bc41ca-ad72-ae67-af3c-89ce169755dd Could be a previous update failed to install properly. Look at your Updates history, maybe uninstall a couple, and then do the Check. Windows Update isn't perfectly reliable and a source of monthly annoyance, yes. Had a big problem about a year ago--for no reason, of course--and it was a PITA to fix, had to go medieval on it. If it were any computer other than mine, I would have just held my nose and reinstalled. Linux users commonly point to smooth Linux updating as one of the reasons they like Linux. Yes, SO much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
