I tried addressing this earlier, but have not found the solution to my
problem.
For some reason, I am not getting the notifications of updates for
Win7 on the
Taskbar as I was getting before. What do I have to set to starting
getting the
notifications again?

Thanks for any insights and/or educational tips

For me what made the icon disappear was an update to the Windows Update
client. REMOVING that update fixed the problem. I have since decided NOT
to install any further updates to the Windows Update client. Try
removing one of the following (I suspect each of these replace the
previous one, so you should have only 1):

KB3065987 Windows Update Client for Windows July 2015
KB3075851 Windows Update Client for Windows August 2015
KB3083324 Windows Update Client for Windows September 2015
KB3083710 Windows Update Client for Windows October 2015

Best Regards,

One can avoid the Windows Update Client updates since they are deployed
via WU. What can not be avoided are Windows Update Agent updates -
deployed and installed automatically if WU is set to automatic or notify.
- One can prevent the partial client updates but only until and
eventually an Agent update occurs. The Client KB's then become past
tense and any effort to hide them no longer applicable.
