Windows 10: Windows Update App no longer available?

I no longer have a Windows update app to check for updates as I typically do. When I type in 'Windows Update' in the Search the web and Windows, the App always popped up for me to select it to check updates. It is no longer there? Using Windows 10 Pro 64bit, desktop, fresh install I did about a month ago.

Windows 10 Photo app no longer works

The Windows 10 Photo app no longer works on my PC and I have tried following a range of advice given but to no effect. It's been suggested that the simplest way is to uninstall Windows 10 and then reinstall it. Can someone please explain how best to do that
and without losing any of my Files such as Word, Excel etc.? I've also been advised that I can't you use the simple uninstall software option but there is a Command line that can be used and that's the simplest way. How do I find that please if that is the
way to do it.

Windows 10 Photo app no longer works

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to perform SFC scan and check if it helps.

System File Checker (SFC) is a utility in Microsoft Windows that allows users to scan for and restore corruptions in Windows system files. Perform System File Check (SFC),
and then check if this fixes the issue.

Press the Windows button + X
on your keyboard, a mini dialogue box will appear.

2. Choose Command Prompt (Admin). You must run the command prompt in Administrator level.

3. On the command prompt type sfc /scannow
and hit enter.

4. If everything went okay and no errors were found, restart your computer and see if the issue re-occurs.

Joergi ; I cant tell you how many hours I have into trying to Google this problem along with the number of times I reformatted and restored my hard drive to a recent image. I really put the effort in, especially on Google,, this was my last hope,, I really though I had a corrupt install! You Sir, I salute!!!!! You made my day, sure enough, that is where it is now,,, many thanks Joergi ,

To you as well Brink, thank you for the welcome sir.

 

Glad we could help. *Smile

 

That goes down like oil. *092

 

See, I'm sorry but if that had been me, and I had put all of that effort in, only to find out what Brink told you, I'd be having a Coronary right now. But that's just me. I am glad you're happy.

 

I can certainly understand your point, but I found it to be more of a relief,,,,,I was having the coronary DURING the hair pulling,,, LOL,,, on to the next problem,,,,, see ya there
