    windows update missing in win 10

    I have also had a "windows update" shortcut on my desktop since XP. When I upgraded to Win 10 from 8.1 my old shortcut was unresponsive.

    I followed your instructions to type "check for updates" in the search window. Yes, you can click to open it but you can also right-click on it and then "send to" select "Desktop (create shortcut)"

    This creates a functioning desktop shortcut which precludes typing the command each time. The desktop icon is labeled as "AAA_System... - Shortcut"

    For those, like me, who are used to having the shortcut and manually checking for updates, this restores order to the universe.

    From settings you can pin it to start menu. About a shortcut to desktop I don't know(I'm on my Win8.1 machine right now.

    Go to Settings/Update & recovery and click on the 'Pin' button, that will pin it to the Start Menu, then simply drag the tile to your Desktop.
