Batu69 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Microsoft released the first major update to its Windows 10 operating system yesterday. It offers new features and improvements across the board, and while it is not enough to convince users who dislike Windows 10 to give it a shot, it should be beneficial to most users who run the operating system already.The update is deployed via Windows Update and all it should take is to go into PC Settings to check for the update and install it.You do that with a tap on the Windows-key, the selection of Settings from the Start Menu, and then navigating to Update & Security > Windows Update. There you need to click on the check for updates button to run a manual check.This should work fine for most users but there are three situations where the update won't show in the dialog:If you have upgraded to Windows 10 less than 31 days ago. If you have selected to Defer updates in Windows 10 then you won't get this one. If you have installed and then uninstalled the upgrade, then you won't get it again via Windows Update.Less than 31 daysMicrosoft notes on the official FAQ for the November update that Windows 10 will only appear in Windows Update if the operating system has been clean installed or if the upgrade dates back to at least 31 days.In other words, if you have upgraded a computer to Windows 10 in the past 31 days, you won't get the update right away.The reasoning for this is that Microsoft wants to make sure that you can downgrade to the previous operating system. If you would make the new upgrade, you won't be able to do so anymore.Deferring updatesDefer updates is an option for Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise systems to block feature updates from being installed right away on the system.If you have enabled that option, you won't receive feature updates like the version 1511, 10586 upgrade for Windows 10 right away.This prevents the update from being found via Windows Update. That's usually a good thing as you may want to test the update before you deploy it on productive machines.To get the update anyway, you need to disable the defer upgrade option for the time being.How you do that depends on how it is configured.If you run Windows Pro or Enterprise, do the following: Tap on the Windows-key, type gpedit.msc and hit enter. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update. Check if "Defer Upgrade" is enabled. If it is, disable it or set it to "not configured".If that is not the case, or if you don't have access to the Group Policy Editor, then you may want to use a tweak software like Windows 10 Privacy for that instead (You find other suitable privacy programs for Windows 10 in our overview).Switch to Tweaks and make sure the option to delay / postpone upgrades is not selected. If it is, deselect it and check for updates using PC Settings again.Uninstalled the updateIf you have uninstalled the update to the new version of Windows, you won't get it offered again in Windows Update.The only option to download and install it again in this case is to click the "upgrade now" button on Microsoft's Get Windows 10 website.Credit to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had any problems with Windows or store updates before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOQUILLO Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hi saeed_dc It's paranoic pure, only. I dont care about them, if you believe that MS or NSA is spying then dont use windows, or if you wanna the complete windows features and enhancements then use a good firewall, my first wall is the firewall builded into my modem, the second wall is ESET Smart Security. So if they wanna spy to me, is why I'm very important for alls them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It should be a very good head, that think out such a mess.There is no such condition, as proposed above, but no updates visible.The reason is much simpler - it is, after all, Microsoft. And you expect, that it to works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Getting mine right now... @ 61%.. I thought tonight I would install ESET Smart Security and set it up go through all of the interactive stuff... about the time I turned in HIDS, interactive mode it said there were updates.. and a bunch of them.. along with five Intel updates.. was this one.. which was the only one to show up when I checked in Windows 10.. so now I am locked in for awhile... ALL new rules on the new ESS things going off like it WWVII.... ( NO I ALREADY TRIED IMPORTING SETTINGS.. DIDN'T WORK.... ) ..... My computer wants me to touch it too much tonight... getting really jealous of my Lumia 2520.. :P I had a whole vocal track coming from my computer ( in mah head ) which was pretty funny about how that sounds the wrong way all the way.. LOL.. Allow, Okay, password, can i...yes... and all of the dirty instructions in between...Yeah so I am definitely entertaining myself during the wait.. and the computer is enjoying it.. so needy... :P Really breaking up my concentration though..:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
