Windows doesn't find updates: How to remedy this

If Windows stops showing you new updates, this can quickly become a problem. You will not get any new features this way, also security holes might not be closed. In most cases, however, the solution is quickly found, because often the problem is the Internet connection.

What to do if Windows doesn't show new updates?

Updates are important to continue using your system without any problems. For this purpose, Windows offers you a special feature that allows you to directly check for new updates and install them afterwards. If the feature does not work as usual, various problems can be behind it.

1. First check your Internet connection and restart your router if necessary. If this does not help, contact your Internet provider.

7. Restart your computer.
8. Öffnen Sie die Einstellungen auf dem Computer und suchen Sie dort manuell nach neuen Updates.
9. Wenn nichts hilft, dann kann es notwendig sein, den Kunden-Support zu kontaktieren.
