Windows update not showing up?

It means in groups of people which may or may not follow a set of criteria.
In the old days of Windows, when an update was released, it was released to everyone. The problem is that servers could get clog up, and download speed could take a serious hit, a growing issue with more and more people getting Internet and PCs at home and work. Then things switch to groups of people to reduce server stress. Today, the same applies, in addition, Microsoft releases updates based on certain system specs and software installed on the system, to see if there is a problem that occurs. if so, an automated system created update blocks to limit any issues, and Microsoft will investigate it, narrow it down the update block to a specific hardware or software, unblocking people, and blocking who truly are the target of the issue, then they'll add it to the release notes the issue with the status (mitigated, resolved, investigating, or blocked).
Here is the current status:

You can force the update using Microsoft Update Assistance (https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10 - click on "Update now" blue button at the top of the page), but you do this at your own risk. If you have issues, you'll need to live with them until a fix is released by Microsoft, or the software or the hardware manufacture (driver update). Example of issues can be: some hardware feature not working, data loss, a or some programs can't run, some Windows feature not work right, or you may face with consent BSODs issues.
Quotealso these are my specs
These are partial specs. A simple memory card inserted into the system, a particular sound card or chip on the system or software version installed on your system can make you fall into an update block.
