Windows 10 "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes"

  • DNS Benchmark v2 is Finished and Available!
    Guest:
    That's right. It took an entire year, but the result far more accurate and feature laden than we originally planned. The world now has a universal, multi-protocol, super-accurate, DNS resolver performance-measuring tool. This major second version is not free. But the deal is, purchase it once for $9.95 and you own it — and it's entire future — without ever being asked to pay anything more. For an overview list of features and more, please see The DNS Benchmark page at GRC. If you decide to make it your own, thanks in advance. It's a piece of work I'm proud to offer for sale. And if you should have any questions, many of the people who have been using and testing it throughout the past year often hang out here.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

Greetings all!

So, I run InControl on my Windows 10 laptop.

Recently I’ve noticed a warning box on the taskbar that says “Your device is missing important updates”. If I hover the mouse over it. When I click it, it launches Windows Update, which tells me that I’m not up to date, even though today was the last date checked, and that "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes". There’s also a message at the top that says that “Some settings are managed by your organization”, which has been there ever since I installed InControl.

Does anyone know what this is or how to fix it? I’m assuming it’s some effort by Windows to try to get me to turn off InControl, but I hesitate to do that since I turned it of for a second on my desktop and that allowed Windows to upgrade me to the latest version of 10. There was no way to stop it, literally I disabled InControl for no more than a second or two but Windows went on and downloaded the latest version. Task Manager, reboots, nothing stopped it. My desktop machine is a beast and can handle the bloat, but I’d rather avoid that on my laptop…

Thanks!
 
You neglected to mention what version of Windows you're currently on, but there is only two supported editions of Windows 10: 21H2 and 22H2. If you're not on either of those, you are on an unsupported version of Windows, and that would explain why you're seeing the complaints you described.

EDIT: Turns out I was wrong, 21H2 is no longer supported (see below.)

Oh, looks like I had out of date information. 21H2 is now out of support as well:
learn.microsoft.com

Windows 10, version 21H2 end of servicing (Home & Pro) - Microsoft Lifecycle

Announcing Windows 10, version 21H2 end of servicing (Home & Pro)
learn.microsoft.com
There's almost literally no difference between 21H2 and 22H2... it's just a bit flip enablement package for features that are already present. I think you're safe to disable InControl, edit the field to be a 22 and then re-enable it.
