Windows 10: "check for updates" is a dead link

when I click on search and type "check for updates", or "windows updates settings", I can't open the result. I click, and nothing happens.
But if I go to "settings", and then to "update and security", it opens just fine.
What is the matter with "check for updates", and "windows updates settings"?

Lumia " The Future is Here "

This is a support forum, not a complaints department.

I suggest you directly submit your complaints about hardware to Nokia and software to Microsoft.



Also it often helps to read reviews when switching platforms to make sure it suits your needs. From what you've said the Lumia 820 clearly doesn't suit you.

 

" Waiting for approval " until when !????

It means that it's waiting for approval from your operator and it has nothing to do with Nokia.

You could call your operator and ask about this approval, someone in technical service may know that how long it takes to approve the newest firmware. (For some reason, every operator has to approve the firmware updates and only after that their clients
can do the update)

 

I have just tried it via ask me anything
Think you have to type in as I did
Check for Windows 10 updates
It will then work
But I always use
Settings
Update and Security

 

when I type I n, check for updated I get the system settings.. in both browsers ,IE and Edge

 

Hello shmu26,

If you like, here's a Windows Update shortcut that you can use to make it easier to "Check for updates" as you like.

How I did was nearly like yours Brink
But clicked on Settings
Then Update and Security
Then Right Click Windows Update
Asked me was I sure I wanted a short cut
Clicked YES
Resized it
Then Pined it to Start

 

seems to there must be an issue with there search if it don't show system setting the way mine does, or am I missing what the OP is asking

 

How about in the search box, just simply type windows update > press Enter.
Will Windows Update open up ?

 

Shmu26, what version of Windows 10 you are running, 10240 or 10586.nn?
You can check that by right click on the Start Menu, then select Run and type in winver.

I am running Windows 10 10586.71 the search returns result in Setting and when I click on the Setting selection, it opens fine!
Have you add any 'System Utility Program' to your environment?
