If you are receiving a message indicating that your device is missing important security and quality updates, and you've already run the troubleshooter and Windows Assistant without resolution, consider the following steps:
- Check Windows Update Settings: Ensure that your Windows Update settings are configured to automatically download and install updates. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates manually.
- Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter: Sometimes, running the built-in Windows Update troubleshooter can help resolve issues. You can find it in Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Windows Update.
- Check for Corrupt Files: Use the System File Checker (SFC) tool to scan for and repair corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command
sfc /scannow. - In-Place Upgrade: If the problem persists, consider performing an in-place upgrade of Windows. This process reinstalls Windows without affecting your files and applications, which can resolve underlying issues with the update system.
- Contact Microsoft Support: If none of the above steps work, it may be beneficial to contact Microsoft Support for further assistance, especially since you have signed up for extended support.
Following these steps should help you address the issue with missing security and quality updates on your device.
