Windows Update not found in settings
This usually happens when Windows Update is disabled by policy, corrupted, or missing from the Settings app due to system issues. You can try restarting your PC first, then run “services.msc” and check if Windows Update service is running. If it’s disabled, set it to Automatic and start it. If it still doesn’t appear, running the System File Checker (sfc /scannow) or resetting Windows Update components can help restore it.
