    Hi,
    I accidentally deleted and recycled my windows update link that usually appeared when I clicked the start button. How can I get this back?

    Thanks

    No problem. Just add a link to your desktop using this destination:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\wupdmgr.exe

    Then pull it onto the start button and position it in the menu.

    Just create a new shortcut and paste that line into the target window.
