Windows 10: Automatic updates with DD_WRT

I run an old wired/wireless Linksys router running DD-WRT. In case you don't know what DD_WRT is, it's a third party developed firmware developed for certain routers that allows you to very specifically determine what happens on your network.

This is the list I use.

I'll let you figure out where these go. Again, you'll have to be running a DD-WRT enabled router. If you get that far this list will help you out.

Issue with installing automatic updates

Original title: My updates just disappeared?

My updates stopped, I have W10, I tried a system restore but it shrunk all my screens. I brought it back to present but nothing happens when I try to get updates. I have automatic updates and instructions tell me to go to auto updates to keep on getting
updates, however, I cannot find auto updates?
