Optional updates a little buried

[jvickers]

Hi, Folks.
I just noticed Optional updates weren't available in Windows 11. That's because it's a little buried. To get to it, you have to go to:

Settings -> Windows Update -> Advanced options

Then, under Additional options, you'll see Optional updates.

Thanks for the heads up. I've just checked and have 0 options updates. I wonder if we'll be alerted to optional updates in the same way as before, or if we need to manually check that section?

I had an update waiting for me when I checked. It might depend on the update, though. This was for my scanner driver.

I don’t think that has changed from Windows 10.? Not for me, anyway. They are. usually drivers - if you are having problems.
