“Check for Updates” Button gone
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,...

Hello Jack_Kelly,
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.
Let us know if this helps!

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.
Thanks very much Kapil. I will let you know.
