One of my computers is using Windows 10 Pro x64, version 10.0.17134.228. It’s heavily configured and currently on Semi-Annual Targeted channel with 365-day feature update postpone to prevent 1809 as I am afraid of my custom setting being destroyed. Normal updates are all enabled and not paused.

I did get this message recently: «Your device is missing important security and quality fixes.» and I am unable to get rid of it. Searching for new updates finds nothing, last updates listed in history were KB4467694 and KB4023057. I have followed all steps from here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164/fix-windows-update-errors until «In-Place Upgrade» that would destroy my settings just like 1809.

Is there anything that can be done?

Answers

It seems that the main issue is finally gone with latest update. For me it was the most recent(today) Adobe Flash update that fixed this whole «Your device is missing important security and quality fixes.» problem. Now it all looks and updates normally.

Sadly these «Candy Saga», «Bubble Witch», «Dolby Access» and other apps are not gone from Start Menu, yet PowerShell commands show that none of these is installed. When I am trying to right click those links in Start Menu and click Uninstall they disappear for a second and then they reappear over and over. I never had them installed previously and don’t want them at all since it’s a computer for work. Is there any way of fixing this?

Thanks for your reply.

Those apps are ads in Windows 10, you can turn it off from settings.

1. Right-click the desktop and select Personalize.

2. In Start Tab, Turn off «Show suggestions occasionally in Start».

3. Uninstall the apps in start menu.

4. Check if they will be back.

I have tried these steps from the link but after step 7 I decided not to go for reinstalling Window 10 for the reasons I described in my first post. Step 4 method only found Silverlight update, but after installing it nothing has changed so I have removed Silverlight completely(don’t plan on using it).

I have also removed some of updates and reinstalled them but it didn’t help. I have tried Windows 10 Update Assistant without success. Not sure what else can be done.

Also don’t know why my Windows 10 Pro x64 is still listed as 17134.228 build and doesn’t change when other computer had several other builds and is currently listed as 17134.407.

Edit: I have also tried all the steps described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-h4BbzdSwc

Thanks for posting your query.

Please try the following steps to do some basic checking:

1. Run command sfc /scannow on the affected server.

2. Run below commands to verify and clean component store.

I did everything described including manual component rest and it didn’t help. I have only omitted last solution that was to reinstall whole Windows image.

I have also tried to manually install latest cumulative update which wasn’t ever present at my Windows Update Settings screen and it succeeded so now my version is 17134.407 but it did not solve the previous issue.

Moreover after trying some of these earlier steps that restart update components there are many apps that I have previously removed like «Candy» or «Dolby». When I right click those and click «Uninstall», those do disappear only until I close Start Menu, but when opening Start Menu again those apps are all back there so I am unable to remove them. When checking in PowerShell with Get-AppxPackage, those «Candy», «Dolby» and other things do not exist there yet they keep appearing in Start Menu.

[SOLVED] Your Device is Missing Important Security and Quality Fixes

Last Updated: 6 days ago

Windows users have reported an error message “Your device is missing important security and quality fixes” that prevents them from installing the Windows updates. Or the scan detects no available updates but the error message still shows. If you’re also encountering this error, no worries! We’ve prepared a few working fixes for you to try.

Try these fixes…

You don’t have to try them all; just work your way down the list until you find the one that does the tricks!

Fix 1: Run Windows Updates troubleshooter

The first thing you can try is to let Windows diagnose the problem for you. Below are the steps to run the Windows Updates troubleshooter:

Check for Windows Updates again to see if the error message is gone now. If this doesn’t help, try the next fix.

Fix 2: Repair corrupted system files

This error message could be triggered by corrupted system files. In most cases, you can fix system files corruptions by running the system file checker tool (sfc /scannow). The bad news is that this tool depends on the Windows Updates client as the repair source. That said, when your Windows Updates client isn’t functioning normally, sfc /scannow doesn’t help much.

You may need a more powerful tool to repair your system, and we recommend giving Reimage a try. It is a professional system repair software that can diagnose your Windows problems and fix corrupted system files without affecting your data. It specializes in fixing Windows errors with a large up-to-date database as the repair source.

If you’re still seeing the error message, try the next fix.

Fix 3: Reinstall the most recent Windows security updates

Another possible cause of this error is a previous broken Windows update. You can try to manually uninstall then reinstall the most recent Windows security update. This fix is most likely to work if you’ve installed a new Windows update recently and then encountered the error. Here’s how to do it:

If this doesn’t resolve the error, move on to the next fix.

Fix 4: Reset Windows Updates services

The error “your device is missing important security and quality fixes” may indicate that your Windows updates service components are corrupted. You can manually reset them via Command Prompt. Below are the explanation and step details:

1) First, we’ll stop the services that are required for Windows Updates to download and install updates.

2) Then, we’ll delete the Software Distribution folder in which Windows Updates stores the temporary files. It’s safe to delete this folder because Windows will detect it when it’s missing, then create a new one. In this way, any possible issues from the old folder can be avoided.

3) Lastly, we’ll restart the services that we stopped previously.

You can now check for Windows Updates to see if the error is gone. If not, there’s one more fix you can try.

How to fix Your Device is Missing Important Security and Quality Fixes?

Issue: How to fix Your Device is Missing Important Security and Quality Fixes?

Hello, I am having trouble installing the latest update on Windows 10. I receive the following error: “Your Device is Missing Important Security and Quality Fixes.” The error code is 0x80080005. I tried waiting a few days, hoping that the issue would resolve itself, but it didn’t. Any suggestions on how to approach this? Tips appreciated.

One of the best features of the Windows 10 operating system is that it’s a service, meaning updates happen regularly to keep everything fresh and secure – security patches are extremely important to prevent cyberattacks from happening. Patch Tuesday happens every month on either the second or fourth Tuesdays – whichever falls later in your calendar year.

At the time of the writing, we received 13 major OS upgrades, [1] each of which includes UI [2] changes, implementation of new features, bug [3] fixes, etc. Not always everything goes smoothly, however, as many users have encountered issues when trying to upgrade Windows to the latest version. “Your Device is Missing Important Security and Quality Fixes” is the most common error which users can encounter during the update process of the OS.

The error is not really tied to a particular error code and other peculiarities, which means that you may receive several different error codes when encountering this error, for example:

It is also important to note that the error message might differ from user to user, although it mostly explains why the update failed, e.g., some problems during the installation process, some update files are missing or that the update service was shutting down.

In most cases, these issues are related to incompatibilities or bugs within the update itself, and not necessarily with your PC hardware or software, although the latter should not be dismissed. Despite this, the reason is very important when trying to find the solution that would help you fix the “Your Device is Missing Important Security and Quality Fixes” error.

Fix 1. Run Windows Update troubleshooter

As already mentioned, let’s start with the easier solutions first. If you still haven’t done so, please run the built-in troubleshooter:

Fix 2. Run SFC and DISM scans

Corrupted system files might be causing Windows updates to fail. You can fix that by running System File Checker:

Fix 3. Reinstall Windows updates

If the most recent Windows updates were not installed correctly, you might experience a “Your Device is Missing Important Security and Quality Fixes” error. You can easily uninstall the latest updates and then initiate the update install process once again:

Fix 4. Reboot relevant services

Fix 5. Reset Windows update components

If the above method did not help (you might not have sufficient permission to (re)start certain services), you can try using Command Prompt instead, also deleting the remnant Windows update files which could be causing the problem in the first place:

Fix 6. Install the update manually

Repair your Errors automatically

ugetfix.com team is trying to do its best to help users find the best solutions for eliminating their errors. If you don’t want to struggle with manual repair techniques, please use the automatic software. All recommended products have been tested and approved by our professionals. Tools that you can use to fix your error are listed bellow:

Access geo-restricted video content with a VPN

Private Internet Access is a VPN that can prevent your Internet Service Provider, the government, and third-parties from tracking your online and allow you to stay completely anonymous. The software provides dedicated servers for torrenting and streaming, ensuring optimal performance and not slowing you down. You can also bypass geo-restrictions and view such services as Netflix, BBC, Disney+, and other popular streaming services without limitations, regardless of where you are.

Malware attacks, particularly ransomware, are by far the biggest danger to your pictures, videos, work, or school files. Since cybercriminals use a robust encryption algorithm to lock data, it can no longer be used until a ransom in bitcoin is paid. Instead of paying hackers, you should first try to use alternative recovery methods that could help you to retrieve at least some portion of the lost data. Otherwise, you could also lose your money, along with the files. One of the best tools that could restore at least some of the encrypted files – Data Recovery Pro.
