I am 'she' which is no big deal- was not sure if you talking to me. What is AV and WU?

Windows update? I have updates on manual- it notifies me, I install them. As I say- installed like 70 updates today, and finally those two installed but no icon. I was looking at C:WindowsSystem32GWX would be nice if I could click on that update and run it? But I dont have AWX folder under System 32. Where are the updates stored? Thank you.sorry I did not mean to offend.

My daughter is a GAMER.I should know better. When you say, 'he' you talking to me, the OP?

You do it again and it will download 14 more.

You do it again and it will download / install 11 more.Ya just have to keep doing it until it says 'no more'There is a GWX folder or should be. GWX stands for Get Windows 10It's an exe file.
