Solved I deleted Microsoft Updates boxes in error

[abuela101]

Hi, I'm new here and a senior noob.

A few days ago I went into Windows Update Module and unticked the following boxes for:

1: Microsoft Updates
2. Software Notifications

Very dumb error and now I cannot get these boxes back. How , if possible, can I get Microsoft updates back? Windows Updates are fine.

Thank you for any help that you can give me!

Simply go back in to Windows Update and re-check them - they don't disappear.

Thanks NoelDP. Since I clicked also on the OK button these boxes disappeared. Will I get only Windows Updates and not Microsoft Updates anymore? Here's a pic to show.

And here is another pic: I cannot revert back to show Microsoft updates. It doesn't allow me to change settings.

It seems to be solved. Don't ask me how. I was taken to IE11 and was asked to download Microsoft Updates. So I did and now it looks okay. Thanks I don't see the button to mark this thread as SOLVED, just the one green button that shows to mark as UNSOLVED.

Glad you got it sorted in the end!
Good luck.

Thanks NoelDP for being so kind and yes I need all the good luck as I am only self-taught and in my seventies.

Now I remember what I did to get Microsoft updates back again. I clicked numerous times *find out more* on the link in *Get updates for other Microsoft products* that took me to IE11 but only some pics were shown there. The last time I tried same it worked for me to get a valid Microsoft download page and I installed it and thus worked.
