Would this clicking on ‘Check for updates” a second time impact items hidden in Winshowhide?

Ty, will see what shows up when running winshowhide on Patch Tues. I’ll post back results. (Searched AW site Aug 2022-present day: anything to do with updating to 22H2, noone mentioned this issue.) Perhaps the enablement pkg had recently changed.

Off to figure out User UAC/ regedit/gpedit issue since upgrading to 22H2…

Hi Susan, I’m a Plus member and have not yet received the survey email?

@PaulT Thx but I have replied ad nauseam that there is NO ’Windows PC Health Check’ nor that KB listed anywhere. I’m not completely computer illiterate, and as stated Stgs App is the first place I checked, and many other areas. (kb5012170 & kb4023057 remain hidden via winshowhide).

Does anyone else have any ideas?

See original post. KB5005463 is awol since installing 22H2, and not in Stgs>apps. No longer in wushowide.

I know it’s there, simply pointing out it also shows under my ‘Update History’ , unlike @Gunny  experience.

Then this is puzzling? Installed Feb 4, same route as @Gunny, just days later. Shows in my Windows updates?

 

Back to the 5005463 anomaly:
It shows NOWHERE as ‘installed’, not even in registry, Prog & apps, WU updates, windows  flyout.
-Could it be ‘waiting in the wings‘? Prior to restart after updating via enablement pkg, I put ‘metered connection ON’ so as to run winshowhide as soon after reboot and online (when noticed it disappeared from winshowhide).
-enablement package kb5015684 shows up as installed under Windows updates, unlike some users reporting only in ‘control panel’ here at AW

-ALL my restore points going back to Jan 9 (2H12) are still visible???

-The only ‘GPedit stgs” I have in place are: GP ‘2’, TRV at Windows 10, 22H2; block windows drivers updates; One Drive disabled (local accounts, don’t use it); new & interests disabled. That’s it.
-still no longer have ‘offline search’ in User since install 2H22. Still no regedit access via User. (Offline search was same pain for 2 months in early last year, finally worked after updates June?)

-Removed ‘tweak’ key I was attempting (above) in Admin for ‘trending searches’ from Admin before posting yesterday. Backed up registry.
-checking C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution/ReportingEvent.log as txt file shows what I presume as winshowhide holding back 3 updates. Out of my realm to read.

-Still wondering why TPM change as in my OP. Haven’t been on this PC more than 3x/mo.

Anyone else have this expercience? What to do. Cheers!

PS tried admin command prompt “wusa /uninstall /kb:5005463” to no avail.

Thk you, both versions work – was a late night typo re: DISM.exe command. Feel free to delete my reply.

HKEY users should have multiple children. The long strings are the user(s), which map to HKCU when you are that user.

This is what I get in my Admin acct (see attached):

What exactly do you get when you try to run Gpedit?

This is GPedit from User account

I always had to right click it and run as admin or run it from admin command prompt.

That doesn’t seem to work, I end up in Admin Group policy.

Trying to “run” regedit in User account gives me this error:

This issue, (lack of User access to either gpedit or regedit), part of my original post, came to light as I was simply trying to get rid of ‘Trending Searches”, as per this workaround https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-do-i-remove-this-trending-searches-window-from/9937e3fe-3fd7-4eed-966b-1764d35c610b which was successful in Admin account. However, can’t access User account registry to apply it to User account.

Still don’t know what happened to kb5005463? As well, I can no longer use the Search Box OFFLINE in the User Account since upgrade to 22H2  (just get a black box)…?

Anyone using directions in this minitool site, pls note DISM.exe will throw you an error 18. Just use DISM solo no . exe, followed by commands depending on what you’re doing.

Ran both. 2x to be sure. All clean.

Just wrote in depth reply… tried to post, got Bad Gateway 505 if I remember correctly????

Problems at Ask Woody?? Maintenance I assume?

HKEY Users under admin acct now have 6 folders: . Default; S-1-5-18, 19, 20, & two 21’s with long strings ending in -1004, 1004_Classes. Prior to, my user was clearly annotated. With one as my User name vs a probable ‘public’ folder is no longer discernible as it was before update.

No HKCU other than Admin. Gpedit user still no longer accessible when in User, no HKCU there.

Thank you Paul, yet you would think others on 22H2 would have a problem with a local User HKCU suddenly NOT even showing up under a local admin account via gpedit? If so, then why no access via User to it’s own HKCU? I’m not nec looking for User to have all access (otherwise I’d just make it an Admin acct). Your thread is interesting, yet from 2015, and seems to suggest just that? Hmm something is off here-prior to 22H2, I could at Least see & access HKCU of User under admin, and make subtle changes there with 21H2 and before… and where did kb5005463 go? (I did a clean sfc /scannow prior to installing 22H2 as per above;  I made no changes to any Hkey, not even for the Edge thing, just rode it out. I only use GPedit, haven’t changed a thing there)

Win 10 Pro. GP edit “2” etc, as per  knowledge base 2000016

NOTE: stgs hardened via GP edit: NO drivers via windows..no Mstore auto update etc. No conflicting programs (very few: itunes, M/Reflect,few intel mgmt, RST), no Ffox-uninstalled, nothing much else).
