    Several weeks ago I had issues with an external hard drive, which locked up my computer. I used a restore point that was only a few days prior to that particular day. Since then my computer won't update either regular Windows updates or app updates like Microsoft Store, Calculator, etc. The menu/home screen shows "Security update pending/Install the update", but when I click it I'm just routed to the Microsoft Support, Windows Update page. Any help to download and install the updates would be greatly appreciated. Windows update says: You're not up to dateYour device is missing important secur
