Unable to see windows updates

In Gpedit.msc 

The settings page visibility was 'not enabled'.  I enabled and set it to 'ShowAll' and this appears to have resolved the issue.  Problem is that this issue is on several client computers and just logged in to one workstation remotely that was having this issue.  Checked the Settings Page Visibility and found that the setting was the same as on the workstation I was working with - 'Not Enabled'.  Windows update was not appearing in the settings window. 

See snapshot below -  

Enabling setting page visibility and typing 'ShowAll' in the options window brought the Windows Update option back to the settings menu.  This should not have to occur - This is a bug in Windows 10.  Windows update options should not randomly be removed from the settings page NOR should this group policy item need to be updated to show Windows Update.  Microsoft needs to address this issue. 

Your answer has resolved the issue, however, I believe that MS would be best to address this problem in the next update, I have a lot of clients that have this same issue.  

Thanks.
