I see the Give me updates for Microsoft products and check for optional Microsoft Software when I update Windows setting in your second screenshot, so I'm not sure what you mean by it's not there.
When you click on the Find out more link in your first screenshot it will take you to the Microsoft update site, and you will usually need to check a box there to have it install an update for your Windows Update. It's best to do this in Internet Explorer.
Not sure since you do have the setting available for it. Do you have all other updates installed? What are the 7 optional updates you have available?
I've created a quick Youtube video on this matter for those that haven't used CMD before.

How To Permanently Remove "Get Windows 10" (GWX) Icon From Notification Area of Taskbar Tutorial
Hi,
i was about to post the same kind of solution but without powershell (i never used it) and just command line.
wusa /uninstall /kb:3035583
If you want like me to add it in script, you can add those parameters
wusa /uninstall /quiet /norestart
So indeed, it ll be uninstalled BUT you have to make again a search of updates and it s very possible that it ll appear again. I had the situation on the laptops and than I hide the update to no more have it...
R..D
navigate to folder Windows/System32/GWX.rename the folder GWX - i renamed it xyz. you can not delete or rename most of the files in the folder -you need "permission" from "trusted installer aka Bill Gates -but you can rename the master file folder - reboot -problem solved.
If "Get Windows 10" icon isn't showing and you wanted it hidden, then there's nothing else that needs to be done.
