windows 10 failing to check for updates. any way to update manually?

[tommo123]

ran some cab file that was supposed to fix things but all it does it make windows check for updates again, it tries for a while then goes back to a warning message about there not having been any updates installed for "some time". restarted win update service etc and no joy.

when it came to the creators update there was a little exe you could run to update. is there no program like this i can run?

ok, grabbed the top ep manually from here:

now error is gone and seemed to check updates ok
