To run the Windows Update troubleshooter, go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters

When was the last time it worked properly?
Open Registry Editor then navigate to this path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Please check if "SettingsPageVisibility" string value is present in the right-side pane. If so, right click it then select Delete. Restart your computer
Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns by clicking the "Reply" button at the end of my response. I will appreciate it.
