Not seeing #Windows 10 First Major update ? Here is the fix


Windows 10 Threshold 2 is now available for download, but the update isn’t showing up for a number of users across the world just yet, and they might have to wait a little bit longer to get it.
But in the original Windows 10 November update, Microsoft says there are three reasons the update might not be available on your PC right now: there are less than 31 days since you upgraded to Windows 10, you enabled options to defer updates, or you have already received Threshold 2 and you’ve removed it.
Obviously, you’re supposed to know if Threshold 2 was already running on your computer and you removed it, so let’s just focus on the first two scenarios.

Threshold 2 removes downgrading option

First of all, Microsoft says that those who installed Windows 10 less than a month ago won’t get the upgrade to Threshold 2 because, this way, they would lose the option to downgrade.
“If it’s been less than 31 days since you upgraded to Windows 10, you won’t get the November update right away; this will allow you to go back to your previous version of Windows if you choose. After the 31 days have passed, your PC will automatically download the November update,” Microsoft explains.
If this is not the case, and you’re one of the first Windows 10 adopters, you should check upgrade deferring options. Microsoft recommends you to toggle this setting to off because, this way, Threshold 2 should just show up in Windows Update.
To this, follow the next path:
Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Advanced options > Defer upgrades
Uncheck everything and you should be good to go. A computer reboot is needed for the Windows Update service to refresh, and you should then manually check for Threshold 2.

Those who can’t still see the update 

Microsoft has already released new ISOs for Windows 10 Threshold 2 (November Update), so if you want to do clean install or you are seeing the update then, simply downloading  ISOs will be a good idea and setting up installation media is enough.
Both Windows 10 Threshold 2 32-bit and 64-bit ISOs are available for download, so select the version you need, generate the link, and you're good to go. Several languages are already supported, but make sure you select the one you want to use.
