Let'ss hope that your right Ash although I highly doubt it since when I call into support, they had no prior knowledge of an issue which means support doesn't know a **bleep** thing that's said in this community and therefore have no knowledge of what the public is saying, it's just you, always "Ash" replying to everything here. SplashTop is looking better every day.
I started this thread back in June, so just to show anyone that reads these things, as per usual, LMI can't fix their stuff anymore. Microsoft came out with Windows 10, 1909 and I can't used LMI to deploy or push the update like it was so able to do in the past. For some reason, LMI can't fix / adjust the product to work like it once did. Its a shame, this used to be such a useful tool.
Come on Ash, when is this going to be fixed and working again?

I had an absolutely horrible call from their "support" yesterday.
Worst call ever.
I needed to remote into all my computers that won't update and provide logs for all, then I needed to verify my configuration of LMI to ensure the computers were pulling correctly and send that to LMI, then it would take a few days to get an answer from LMI as to why this isn't working.
Sorry, I don't have time for all that **bleep**.
Problem is not 2 months ago they told me that updates only become available to apply to computers when at least 100 computers in my company report the same update, then and only then can I apply, only problem is, I don't have 100 computers in my company, so how does that **bleep** work?
Support reads from a script, has no knowledge of the platform or its history. I started using LMI back with XP and never had an issue with updates, then when 7 rolled out there were a few hiccups, but support was helpful, knew the product and got back to you in a timely manner, even if it was a bigger issue that took some time, you still had regular communication with a knowledgeable person.
Now 10 rolls out and every version of 10 breaks LMI's ability to update computers like the program has been able to do in the past. Now its jump through this hoop, that hoop, bend over backwards and even after you do everything they ask, they come up with a new reason it doesn't work and start the process all over again.
LMI get your head out of your arse and either fix this or remove it from the program. You're not helping anyone anymore.

Still an issue with me as well and we have almost 12k computers. I agree they need to just remove the function if it will not work correctly. There has been no product development or movement on anything in LMI central for quite some time. It is very disappointing.

I started this thread back on 06-12-2019 at 10:37 AM CDT and here it is 1/29/2020 and this issue STILL EXISTS!!!
ALL of my company computers are showing:
Optional Updates Available:
-2020-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1909
And yet LogMeIn shows no update available for ANY of my computers. Why? When is LMI going to address this?

Has anyone had any fix for this yet? I didn't see anything in the thread. We have 12000 computers and it is very hit and miss with being able to apply Windows updates. Everything I saw people say earlier I am having issues with. This is very frustrating and I hope LMI finds a solution for it soon.

There is no change, they just ignore the issue

Well thanks for the reply. Does anyone from LMI pay attention to these threads and try to come up with fixes? I saw in the thread that they were responding at some point, but then stopped responding because they have no fix or idea on how to fix it. To me its easy to duplicate and not sure what they were testing on. I mean below is just one example of a server that I have that on the console itself it shows it needs 2 updates, but the information is not in LMI, just says details not yet available and has been that way for a week.

They stopped responding long ago. When they merged with GoTo, everything went downhill. I used to be able to do a chat with support but not any longer, I used to get people that were US based but now I get people that can barely speak English. They read from a script and have no product knowledge and never relay your concern to anyone. Your issues and complaints just sit here for future users to see.

Hello,
After some further testing, we found that the Windows Update client may not be able to communicate with the Windows Update service for several reasons. These include the following:
- The Windows Update service was disabled, or the service startup type is not set to “Automatic” and the service is running.
- The Windows module installed but was disabled by a local anti-virus software
- The update.Microsoft.com is not in the trusted sites list of the local firewall
I realize this is not definitive, but hopefully it provides some insights to the failure.

Windows update Service is set to automatic and is running (was set to manual and I changed it to Automatic).
On the computer itself it is showing that it needs 2 updates.
LMI console is showing that 1 update that it does not have details for, but as you can see there are 2 updates that need to be applied.
I have also hit the check updates twice in the LMI control panel and same results. I will check back tomorrow to see if the behavior has changed.
