Friends - I have been just "putting up" with this but my OCD nature is getting the better of me.
On a newish Lenovo laptop with 8.1 installed, a laptop that does not stay "On" all the time but powered off, then started fresh for use: Windows Update accessed from Desktop mode via Control Panel will often show "no updates" and no issues/problems/etc either. Windows Update accessed via PC Settings in "Windows 8 mode" will [after a protracted search during which the screen/tile is locked].
why? what's the point?
is it a bug? is there a way to have one instead of 2 [apparent] Win Update applets/utils?
One other nuisance I have that may or may not be related: at the Lock Screen I will see the message "There are updates - Go to PC Settings and install". A number of times I have followed that kindly suggestion via PC Settings and returned with no updates. Is that a spurious message?
My setting is currently "notify but don't install".
thanks for your help
