Check for updates stopped working
I've got a Windows 7 SP1 machine that is no longer notifying me of Windows updates.
It is set to "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download an install them".
Until a few months ago, it always issued the appropriate notifications. Then it just stopped.
If I manually check for updates, it works fine, but I want to receive notifications for updates.
I've resorted to manually checking for updates every day. Based on the content of some of these "important" updates (which are really just ads for Windows 10), I no longer trust MS, and thus I do not want automatic updates.
I tried momentarily selecting "Never check for updates." and then re-enabling "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download an install them", but that did not help.
How can I fix this?
