how do you force a rescan for Windows 10

How can i force a rescan for windows 10, i have upgraded all the problems but it says the last scan was done on aug 18 and after 20 days i still get the same error msg about hardware that is no longer on my computer.

 

Open Settings app (WinKey/I) > Choose "Update & Security" > Click on "Check for updates".

 

Windows update certainly used to get stuck with whatever its last Check for updates identified until those updates had been downloaded & installed. Repeating a Check for updates just returned the same list until then.

The easiest way to clear it to do a completely fresh search for updates was to use Windows Update - Reset - TenForums [the built-in Windows update troubleshooter sometimes cleared the queue and sometimes did not so I only ever use the TenForums tool now].

Thank you thank you thank you!
It did the trick and now i can recheck for updates!
By the way is restarting the computer really necessary after running that bat file?

 

Resetting the Winsock Catalog is the bit that requires a reboot. netsh winsock reset
netsh winsock reset proxy
"Sucessfully reset the Winsock Catalog.
You must restart the computer in order to complete the reset."

[I had never noticed that before, successfully with only one c. So Windows cannot spell.]
