If you are I recommend NIRSoft “Registry Scanner”:
Nir Sofer or NirSoft has, and continues to develop, an excellent selection of free utilities…

Managing and Maintaining a Windows OS Image
Checking your Windows Update Service Manager might be in Order:
You will need to use Powershell to do this. I recommend PowerShell ISE. Both are in the WMF:
NOTE: If you are using W 10, you have at least WMF 5,x, on 1507 or Greater;
Install and Configure PowerShell and PowerShell ISE via the WMF
Powershell ISE: Exploring Repositories With Modules: PowerShellGet and PackageManagement
Now everyone needs the PSWindowsUpdate Module for working with the “Service Manager”.
