Windows Update Troubleshooter: Check for Windows Update issue - Detected(again and again the same message)

larysid · Monday at 7:00 PM

Hello! I pretty sure that it is a bug, but I just wanted to ask about it..
Freshly formatted custom PC (2 weeks ago) and I am seeing the same message again and again every time I run this obsolete troubleshooter (just out of curiosity, because I face no problems regarding updates!!). I have already run bits troubleshooter (no issues detected), sfc / scannow and dism restore health are fine!! I can also update my system without any errors... I have also made an index rebuild and cleared the contents of the software distribution folder and the catroot2 as well..
But I still show this weird yellow notification when I run this troubleshooter...
So just ignore it, since everything is fine?

WINDOWS UPDATE PROBLEMS things to try

1. Run THIS troubleshooter-settings-system-troubleshoot-other troubleshooters-windows update-RUN.

2. Reset Windows update using Brink's tutorial Reset Windows Update in Windows 11 Tutorial

3. Open command prompt as administrator. Enter this command.
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
When complete, Restart computer

Then open command prompt as admin again and run sfc /scannow
Pay attention to the scan results to see if SFC found anything it could not repair

4. CLEAN UP COMPONENT STORE - dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
Analyze and Clean Up Component Store (WinSxS folder) in Windows 11 Tutorial

5. Do a repair install. This usually works when nothing else will. Repair Install Windows 11 with an In-place Upgrade Tutorial

I'm not at a computer, but that looks old...

This should launch the current troubleshooter Windows Update Troubleshooter - Microsoft Support

Thank you! I just ran the windows updates troubleshooter (from get help) and I checked the option ''can't install updates". The first time it changed some settings and at the second run it found nothing!! I don't dare to run the obsolete find and fix troubleshooter... I don't face any real problems, regarding windows updates...I also ran dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup...
Maybe I should leave it alone, as it seems to be a bug?

Trouble shooters are going bye bye, mostly. Use Brinks tutorial and do a Repair Install Windows 11 with an In-place Upgrade.

Repair Install Windows 11 with an In-place Upgrade

This tutorial will show you how to do a repair install of Windows 11 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything. If you need to repair or create a new recovery partition or having problems with the Windows 11 operating system on your PC, and the usual solutions will not fix it...

If you are having no update problems, why in the world would you choose to run an obsolete troubleshooter just because you are curious. Troubleshooters can make changes to a system. Troubleshooters go obsolete for a reason. Just makes no sense to me since curiosity has been known to kill the cat.

I used @glasskuter 's method and it opened the new Get Help.

Thank you all above! Maybe I will leave it as it is..I was just wondering if this obsolete "find and fix problems with windows updates" troubleshooter would find nothing as it should, because I am having NO problems regarding updates... The new one though (get help), found something when I chose the option cannot do update, then it fixed it and after choosing that it it didn't fix the problem in the end of get help discussion, the get help reran it and showed a message that there are no problems to fix ..So... Am I good to go? Without rerunning the obsolete troubleshooter?

If you're up to date and have no issues, perhaps it's time to be happy and actually make use of your PC ...

I give up. You'll know the answer to that question the next time there's a windows update. If it applies as expected, you don't have a problem.
If it fails to apply, you have a problem which your curiousity may or may not have caused. Until that time, leave it alone.

There is a saying here in the states; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". It's the best advice I can give when it comes to Windows.

Thank you all for your immediate help and for your advice as well!! I am pretty sure that it is a known bug (I have seen it again and I just wanted to see if it helped me as I noticed that sometimes the windows check for updates was too slow to find new update), but as it is already said above: I hope this action, didn't cause any problems to my system

Besides all, I just used a Microsoft genuine tool without using any scripts or third party tools/programs..Since everything till now works fine, especially regarding updates, I will ignore it because it is NOT true that I have pending updates to install as insanely declared by the troubleshooter (I aso ran the old windows update troubleshooter known as wu.diagcab which showed nothing hidden!!). It's insane!! It's clearly a bug!
That's why I try to avoid running something extra (as the repair windows update components script etc), so as not to make things worse (because I have already intervened to the system with the troubleshooter)...
So.. I will check it out in the next update..I am pretty sure that I will be ok..
Thank you all!!!!

I would appreciate it, if someone has something to add, regarding my thoughts above...

Not sure how many ways you can be responded to with this. STOP looking for things that aren't there or for problems that don't exist and perhaps read peoples replies. Stay out of places like event viewer. You'll see things that don't really make any difference whatsoever. Event viewer always shows something...

When all the current diagnostic tools show the system is fine, and only the obsolete one shows a warning, that points to the tool — not your PC.

At this point the only thing throwing a warning is an obsolete troubleshooter that doesn’t understand modern Windows Update. Everything that actually matters — SFC, DISM, Get Help, and Windows Update itself — shows your system is fine.

If updates install normally, then the old tool’s message isn’t a real problem. It’s just outdated. Time to stop running it and let Windows Update do its job.

Love you all guys!!! Yes I know I was just the cat

I will ignore it since I don't face any problems !!!
