I have a client with a Win10 machine where, if you go to Start>Settings>Update & Security, there is no option along the left side for Windows Update. Similarly, there's no button for it in Control Panel, I cannot search for it, and nothing comes up if I run the command "ms-settings:windowsupdate".

I thought maybe a group policy or registry key got set, but I do not see anything, and in my experience even when those are set it will just grey out the settings and disallow them from being changed, not hide the buttons entirely. I tried a /dism /online /repairhealth, tried applying the latest update from yesterday, ran the Windows Update troubleshooter, rebooted several times, no dice.

Anyone know what might be doing this?
 
No, just a preloaded Dell image, manually updated to the latest build.
