I wanted to check on the status of my Win 10 updates so I looked in "settings" "update and security" and clicked on update. Nothing happened, all I get is the endless progression of dots which goes on forever. Stopping and restarting the Windows update services has no effect on this situation. Looks like this situation has been going on months now.

Looks like it's stuck.

Please advise.

Hi,
although originally for Windows 7 try the update trouble shooter from Microsoft:
Open the Windows Update troubleshooter - Microsoft Windows Help

If the above fails to work try clearing the update cache:
Clearing Windows Update Cache Upon Update Failure
