Windows 10: Windows 10 Home will not update

I have had this issue for months with no solution. I am not a computer expert at all and this is pretty annoying! My laptop says I am not connected to the internet when in fact I am. I can go online to anywhere with no issues, In fact I wouldn't be here right now if I did have internet filling this out.


Therefore when I try to update windows, which has not occurred since June 27, 2020, according to my update history, I am unable to download the update and this error message occurs.


"We couldn't check for updates, because you aren't connected to the Internet. Make sure you have a cellular data or Wi-Fi connection and try again."


The last updates were a

Windows defender antivirus antimalware update KB4052623


Windows 10 for X64 based system KB4056254


2019-02 Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64 based system KB4346085


2019-08 Update for Windows 10 version 1709 for x64 based system KB4023057


I have tried everything I can find online and apparently this is a known issue. So currently, my laptop will not be able to download any updates. What is the fix. I have read a lot about the "Windows 10 No Internet Connection Bug."


I have version Windows 10 Home Version 1709, OS Build 16299.1087.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
