Windows Update which has been working fine until today now says:

You're not up to date

Last checked: Today, 20:37

Your device is missing important security and quality fixes.

I have:

Windows 10 Pro
Version 2004
Installed on 28/06/2020
OS build 19041.1415
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0

Optional updates lists the following:

- Windows updates - Feature update to Windows 10, version 21H2
- Driver updates, if you have a specific problem... (etc)

Update history shows lots of successful updates (none are failed). The most recent update in the history is from today:

Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267602
Successfully installed on ‎17/‎01/‎2022

I am not on a 'metered connection' (Ethernet LAN). I have plenty of hard drive space.

I've tried the following:

• restart Windows (I've had update get stuck before and this has resolved issues previously)
• running troubleshooter for Windows update (no solutions)
• clearing the Windows update cache (stop Windows update service, delete contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download then restart the service)

I noticed the log file C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log says 'Please run the Get-WindowsUpdateLog PowerShell command to convert ETW traces into a readable WindowsUpdate.log' - I did this - there are quite a few of these (9 in a row) in the converted log:

*FAILED* [80246007] ISusInternal:: IsCommitRequired

I also tried the following based on this

net stop msiserver
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
net stop cryptSvc
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old (I got 'Access is denied' for this)
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

None of this seems to have helped.

I'd rather not install the feature update if possible. Any ideas what else to try?

Upgrading to 21H2 resolved the issue.
