Windows 10: Gone Missing: "Updates & Security" - Replaced by "Delivery Optimizati"

Windows 10 Pro - 1909, OS Build: 18363.1082

Howdy Folks, *Smile

My Updates & Security window has gone missing, replaced by Delivery Optimization (see attached).

Since I have recently changed WU control from Group Policy setting: "Notify for download and notify for install" to using Sledgehammer:
1. Installed Sledgehammer
2. Disabled WU Group Policy Setting "Notify for download, etc."

All worked well for the first week or so until I found the Updates & Security window has been replaced. Thinking Sledgehammer was responsible I uninstalled it, but the Updates & Security window has not returned:
1. Enabled WU Group Policy Setting "Notify for download, etc."
2. Uninstalled Sledgehammer.

Appreciation goes out to all who have any thoughts to share!

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

We suggest that to manage your connection consume for Windows Update and Delivery Optimization is to configure Delivery Optimization through Group Policy and Windows Update by deferring the Windows Update.

For more information on how to use Group Policy to configure Windows Update Delivery Optimization in Windows 10, check this
