It's probably your settings. For me there are 2 options to update:
1. If I want to get the update without waiting for microsoft, then I download that tool called windows 10 update assistant and update through that but the best way is just to wait and then the update pops up on the main update screen, and not in the optional updates one, and there's just that download and install button.

It really seems as though this update has issues. I just went ahead and update and now it won't show in my updates history on windows update, and my build is still 2004, when it was actually looking like it's updating. And if I run the update assistant it says that there is windows 10 2009 new version available, but in settings of windows, it doesn't show anymore, like it has dis appeared.

See, here's the thing, and I'll explain it.
Today, a new quality update for 2004 showed up in my windows update.
I clicked download and install. Everything went fine, restarted, updated.
But the thing is, even this update doesn't show in my history, like there was no update at all, when actually there was, and I know for a fact this update was 2009 because otherwise it only shows in optional updates but not it was on the main screen of windows update, the area where you can also check for updates.
So I have no idea what's going on here but it is like when I updated the update is no where to be found.
And in the update assistant it shows me that there's a new version available so what the hell is going on here. This update really has issues.

I don't know what update 2009 is because the latest update would be the following,

You can't be running 20H2 if your version is 2004.

More information would be helpful. What other Security software is installed on that computer? What error message did you receive?
I'm on Windows 10 v 20H2 and Avast runs just fine.

Hi, I forwarded it to the devs...

Hi Asyn

So I did a fresh install of Windows 7, directly un update to Windows 10 20H2, and once it was finished, installed Avast… and the same problem is still coming up at the end of the installation…

So it seems to be a problem from maybe a registry key in Windows 7, still present in the updated system on Windows 10...

Hope the devs will try as I done and find a solution…

Hi, the devs would need some logs...

Follow instructions: https://support.avast.com/article/33/ and post the File-ID and/or name of the Support-File here afterwards.

I think the devs could create themselve a VM with Windows 7 and then update to Windows 10 20H2 using the Mediacreation tool ! can't they ?


So because I am cool and I have some time to waste… here are two reports ID :


VH3NR (after I uninstalled avast using avast clear from safe mode and reboot the computer)
IM58P (the report has been made from safe mode because the computer is rebooting in loop)

I hope it will help
