“Check for Updates” Button gone

Question

My check for updates button is completely missing on build 21327. Further, after doing some digging, I don’t even see the windows update in the registry. Has anybody run into this? This is, obviously, a problem.

Hello&nbsp;Jack_Kelly,
&nbsp;
You can try manually creating Windows Update registry key. So that registry location becomes HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate. Then manually create and SetDisableUXWUAccess registry DWORD and let it remain 0.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Let us know if this helps!

KapilArya&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks, Kapil. Apparently, there have been two recent updates, one of which seems to have fixed a couple of my machines (out of the 4 with problems). So, it appears that the updates are coming even without the "Check for Updates" button, which I was concerned about. Two of the machines now have the button. I will see how the other two go and will use your registry tweak if there is a problem.&nbsp;Thanks very much Kapil. I will let you know.&nbsp;Jack
