Check online for updates

On both of my build 21343 machines the Check online for updates is grayed out. I am trying to download the new build. Wsus still works for other updates. Check the Windows update registry settings and nothing seems wrong and the one computer I have on the Beta channel still works. Anyone out there seen this?

      Just found this in newer build 21354 release notes:
      We’re working on a fix for an issue introduced in the previous flight impacting WSUS users where the “Check online for updates from Microsoft Update” option is greyed out. If you are impacted, you can run the following command from an elevated Command Prompt to set the reg key so that scan will check Microsoft servers:
      reg add “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings” /f /v ScanMicrosoftOnly /t REG_DWORD /d 0x01
      Then click the regular “Check for updates” button in Windows Update Settings. Please note, if the scan needs to be done repeatedly the reg key will need to be re-added each time, as scanning reads and erases the key.
