Windows Update indicates important updates, but does not download them

[jnelsoninjax]

I have checked for updates 3 times back to back, and this is the result. What does this mean, and/or what can I do about it?

What was the last update it installed?

If you click "View configured update policies" what does it say?

is this a work machine? I ask since it says some settings are managed by the organization.

That being said it could be a group policy or SCCM / WSUS configuration blocking some things from installing despite being detected as available.

No, and I do not see that message anymore

When was the last time you've restarted? Not a shut down but a restart?

Good catch, I did not see that. I am in the process of getting 22H2 standalone installer.

Successfully installed 22H2 last night, and now am currently installing the 'missing' updates.
