We plan to add a Windows update status dashboard in the coming year to provide more information on any issues that lead to update blocks..
It therefore looks like updates could be blocked by having an incompatible program installed. I don't know what sort that might be though. Perhaps some security program or other could cause it.
Yes, I read that. On the face of it, it sounds reassuring but, nevertheless, I'll stick with my 'metered connection' ploy for a bit longer as it seems to have worked so far.
Personally, I'm relatively happy with Windows 10 as it is and really have no wish to have any additional features, etc, installed.
