    Can't click on "Check for Updates" "Windows Update settings" on Start


    So I have this weird thing happening in my relatively fresh install of Windows 10.
    Whenever I search for "Check for Updates" or "Windows Update settings" on the search box of the start menu, I get the results that I want but if I press enter or try to click on those results nothing happens.. As far as I know I can click all others search results but those, and maybe others related to windows update.

    I can still get updates by going to Settings>Update & Security though.

    In my other computers this works fine, and as far as I can tell all the updates are done.
    From what I've searched around other people seemed to have a similar issue where they couldn't acess the settings at all which isn't my case. Still I tried the sfc/ scannow that a lot of users seemed to recommend but no results.

    :)

    Enter on keypad " no. + # "

    petrib is correct. It is a shortcut to SIM numbers.

    Numbers on your SIM might not be in the position you think. Just because they appear sorted in alphabetical order in the contacts list doesn't mean that they appear in that same order on the SIM. On the SIM they appear in the order in which you input them,
    unless you delete a number in which case the next one entered takes its place.

    Spanker,
    .............. Still I tried the sfc/ scannow that a lot of users seemed to recommend but no results. .....................

    Please clarify what did you mean by "no results".

    When sfc /scannow is completed, it will give you one of the following 3 reports....................(paraphrasing)

    1. No integrity violation.
    2. Found corrupted files and repair is successful.
    3. Found corrupted files but unable to repair some of them.

    Which one of the above is applicable to you ?

    I should've mentioned it, I got the second result. Also I tried to set the updates for PCs on my local network like mentioned above but no changes.

    Thank you for the clarification.
    You have a weird problem. Fortunately, you can still get your updates via Settings > Update & Security.
    I have no answer for you.
    Sorry.
