Windows 10 "You're not up to date" message, even though updates managed by WSUS and machine is up to date

Question

Thursday, January 17, 2019 2:16 PM

I manage updates in my environment through WSUS.  I haven't pushed updates since early December.  This week however, I've been getting a bunch of Windows 10 machines on my network display a message in the system tray that says "You're not up to date".  But if you check for updates it says there are no updates available.  We have a mix of both 32 bit and 64 bit versions, both pro and enterprise, and a myriad of different builds.  It is not isolated to any one.

Is this a notification or message in Windows Update?

Check Windows Defender (if you are using) and see whether it is also update.

This is what it looks like, it starts as a notification in the system tray, and when you click on it it takes you tot the Windows Update dialog page.  We do not use Windows Defender, we use a third party AV product.

Hi cloksin,

Try the following steps and check if it helps: 

1. Run command** sfc /scannow** on the affected server.

  1. Run below commands to verify and clean component store.

**     Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth**
 
**     Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth**

**     Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /startComponentCleanup**

**     Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /restoreHealth**

  1. Reboot the server to make the above steps taking effect.

  2. Use Fix it tool to reset the Windows Update Components.

ok, I ran all the DISM commands and the sfc.  There were no errors anywhere.

The fix it tool you gave me was for workstations, not servers.

The error I am seeing is on workstations, not the server.

So the issue happens in Windows 10, the fix it tool can be used.
