Optional drivers show but I'm unable to download optional updates.

I've been working on a computer that is fully able to install the recommended updates but when it comes to optional updates when I click download I can clearly see the download button was pressed but the download never starts. The optional drivers show hp firmware update and a few amd related updates but the updates are from 2019.

I've used tweaking.com's about repair tool to fix the updates but the same problem still so I ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth which came back clean but when I ran sfc /scannow it repair a file but the update issue still proceeds.

Any ideas? Windows 10 22h2 is the version

Doesn't HP have a driver update tool on it's website?

Hp probably does but when it comes to laptops it seems like Microsoft shoves the updates they think the computer needs instead of the manufacturer so I didn't see the point in going that route but I'll see if I have time tomorrow to give it a try.

It might work the other way too.
If you grab the latest ones from HP... the ones WU finds might just go away.

WU is a bit weird. Here's a story...

I can DL updates from WU or thru WAU Manager.
If I install the updates thru WAU Manager... they are still listed in WU.
I just click: download & install... and they just disappear.


Here's another story...

You can "hide" updates with WAU Manager.
So just grab that, install it, set it up like the pic below, and click: Update Windows Now

You'll get a list of available updates with check boxes. Just highlight any of them and click: Hide Update
That not only hides it for WAU Manager, but for WU too.

Don't worry about the scheduling... I don't think it works anyway.




WAU Manager ----> Enable or Disable Windows Update Automatic Updates in Windows 10
