Windows 11 not automatically updating.

Anyone else having this? It stopped automatically updating about a month ago, I have to manually check for updates.

No I haven't paused updates first thing I checked.

Strange, shall leave alone and see if it sorts itself out.

A long shot but check you haven't accidently set your network connection set as a metered connection, I did this once and by default Windows Update doesn't check for updates on a metered connection

I did have a check but it's not on a metered connection.

First thing you probably want to check is when was the last time it checked for updates, assuming you've not run a manual check today type 'Get-WindowsUpdateLog' into a powershell window and that will save a log to your desktop. Open the log and scroll down to the bottom where it should have today's date, i say should as Windows should/normally checks for updates daily so there should be timestamps shortly after you first booted up this morning.

Thanks will have a look at that. Last time I did a manual check was on the 26th December.

Used powershell after reading everything it looked like it was updating and removing updates. I checked one last time and this time it actually said it had checked for updates.
