Windows 7: manually install updates

Seeing how automatic updating no longer works on my computer ffo rabout a year now is there any why to get updates manually or am i just stuck with what ever build I'm on now?

Automatic updates should be working.

Do you mean it won't update even though automatic updates is turned on, or that automatic updates are turned off and you would like them turned on.

Automatic updates is on i think it never looks to update nor can it even update if i tell it to.

Let's check, just to make sure. Follow the path in the attached picture and make sure everything is set correctly.

yep says its on everyday at 3AM, yet the update page says last update never and can't update.
