Windows Updates - I only have 11 'important' updates to download. I believe there are also 5 'critical' updates. I don't understand why I don't have them. I also have KB3159398 included in the update list. But the security bulletin says this is for Windows 7 Could anyone offer some advice re...

This is a problem I've had for months with no solution in sight, even after trying multiples fixes. Windows 10 ran fine for about 3 months prior to this issue, but ever since this happened I haven't gotten it to run properly since. A few months ago, I ran into an issue when I installed an...
