Hi,
I did a "Check for Updates" and there are several available. There is no Install Now button or anything like that. How can I force the update program to download and install these pending updates?
Thanks!

Go to your desktop, select Settings/Windows Update & Security/Troubleshoot/Windows Update, and then click on "Run the Troubleshooter" that opens when you click on that last step.
