We came across some Windows 10 users who have been complaining that the Windows Update section within the Settings area, is 100% blank. It’s quite strange for anyone to experience a problem where the Windows Update section is just a blank slate. This can cause folks to just want to revert back to Windows 7 because things are a lot simpler there seeing as Windows 7 is very mature.
Here is how to use Windows 7 forever
However, before running back to the old operating system, there is a chance we could help with your debacle.
