Windows 10 Creators Update no longer automatically updating

Version 1703 (OS Build 15063.540) HP Pavilion Laptop / 8GB Ram / 1TB HDD / Intel Core i3.

For the last three days, Windows is no longer checking for updates (Defender or others) I am now having to manually click the Check for Updates button in Update and Security. I have looked on Microsoft's (non helpful) support and can't seem to find a proper answer or fix to this issue. I know it's no big deal to manually check, but should I have to keep doing this all the time ?

Hi and thanks for the welcome. Everything is at default since updating to the creators update and it's only been the last few days I have had this issue. I follow the walk through in the link you provided when I'm at my laptop later this evening and will report back 😊

Windows did an automatic check for updates this evening without any intervention from me...Strange world of windows.

Mine has been the same. Last update check was on the 24th at around 6pm. PC was used for a couple of hours morning of 25th, a couple of hours around lunchtime and most of the evening. No update check. Today and it was the same, finally auto checking a couple of hours ago.

Some days I get at least two auto update checks although I suspect that is tied to whether I run a disk clean and then do a restart. That often seems to trigger a check.
