Your device is missing important security and quality fixes

Every time I update my Windows, I get this message:

It has been happening for a long time but does not seem to affect anything else
Any ideas?


Dave

Thanks, I will try that

Have you tried resetting the update components?
Open cmd prompt/powershell with admin & enter:
Net Stop bits
Net Stop wuauserv
Net Stop appidsvc
Net Stop cryptsvc
Ren %Systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore DataStore.bak
Ren %Systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download Download.bak
Ren %Systemroot%\System32\catroot2 catroot2.bak
Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat"
Net Start bits
Net Start wuauserv
Net Start appidsvc
Net Start cryptsvc
Restart the PC & try updating again.


And/or:
Search for services.msc & find Windows Update & ensure it is set to Automatic.

Ensure Active Hours isn’t enabled as well as the setting to restrict downloads when on limited connection.

Thank for your advice. I am giving up since none of the advice has worked and the issue is not affecting me other than causing minor irritation. Dave

This is easier and more complete:
Reset Windows Update in Windows 10

Then run the Windows Update troubleshooter if you still have a problem and post a screenshot of the result. Thanks.

Your build number, 19044.1469, indicates that you haven't received any Windows updates in nearly six months.

If that's not worth fixing, I don't know what is.

January 17, 2022 — KB5010793 (OS Builds 19042.1469, 19043.1469, and 19044.1469) Out-of-band

What happens when you click the "Check for updates" button in your first screenshot?
