    Windows Update API returns more updates than Windows Update app offers


    I am using Windows Update API (WUApiLib) in C# to get available updates. And it appears that it displays some driver updates while Windows Update application tells that the device is up to date.

    It returns me this (I'm using ASUS laptop):
    Is there a way to enable these updates via Windows settings? Also ESET reported me these updates as not installed…

    If you are curious what it returns on your system, give it a go. I am attaching a very simple application (command line) to display not installed updates. Just unzip and execute. If you are afraid of viruses, here is the source code: Untitled - Paste Guru. You can even decompile it (it's .NET).

    Windows Update says device is out of date but doesn't offer updates

    I get this message when I search for updates: "Your device is at risk because it’s out of date and missing important security and quality updates. Let’s get you back on track so Windows can run more securely. Select this button to get going:"

    When I select the (Search for Updates) button it simply returns the samer message, rather than offer any updates to install.

    My PC keeps freezing since I updated the 'Anniversary update'.

    It was offered and installed via Windows Update (more than 10 days ago).
