Windows 10: Windows 10 Optional Updates not downloading/showing

I've been facing this issue lately on this new OS.
Previously on W7 & W8 the updates categorized into 2 column (Important & Optional) where we can select the updates individually and download/install. This way I can get some optional drivers for memory card, printers & etc.

I couldn't find this option in W10. I choose to ignore it but my antivirus keep notifying me that optional downloads are available. I did click the "Run System Updates" but it navigates to System > Update & Security > Message and shows "System is up to date".

Sometimes it only updates the critical updates. The rest (Recommended & Optional) ignored/not notified on windows updates.
Anyone facing this issue? Able to solve? Please help.

Problem downloading the app (Optional updates) via Nokia Suite V3.5.34

Hi Sixmabone3,



I have found Nokia Suite to be a bit hit and miss for me lately too. Much in the way of trying to update firmware, so instead I use Nokia Software Updater. Sounds like there isn't a problem with your computer, as you are still able to update applications
via the Nokia Store, therefore they may be problems with Nokia Suite itself. I suggest checking SW Update on the phone itself to see if the updates are available via that method.

 

Problem downloading the app (Optional updates) via Nokia Suite V3.5.34

I have updated my N8 to Belle Refresh. Now I want to install the optional updates (Calendar, Nokia Store, Social and Search widget) via Nokia Suite version 3.5.34. When I click install in Nokia Suite, the installation process begins then almost immediately,
the Suite says: "There was a problem with downloading the app". I am able to download apps from the Store via the Nokia Suite, but these updates just won't budge.

What's wrong?

 

Having this same concern. I too am using ESET Smart Sec. I just wish the Windows update was the same back then in windows 7 where you can see recommended/optional updates for drivers.

 

Anyone resolve this as I have the same issue? Eset 9 advised of a whole host of optional drivers updates but Windows update says I'm up-to-date and I can't find the optional updates anywhere unlike W7/8.

 

I'm pretty sure no one on this forum can help. I posted about this exact issue a couple of weeks ago and the only response I got advised me to use a third party tool, which is hardly ideal. Think I might just go and use the technet forums instead.

 

Just go to the maker of your laptop or desktop and check for updates their. If you are having no problems with your Windows 10 then I don't see why you would want to look for drivers anyhow. Installing a driver which windows is reporting as the latest could affect how your OS runs. Also could cause serious problems. But that's your choice. *Smile
