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,

I looked at the Oct one and it was marked as Optional. The one is Sept is still
there and it was marked as Important. So, it appears the latest is not
replacing the previous one?

None of those 2 are INSTALLED. So the supposedly buggy one is August.
You have to go to control panel, in Programs and Features, click on View
Installed Updates on the left, and type KB3075851 (or KB3065987) in the
search gadget on the top right. Uninstall that one, reboot, then wait
some time, see if the icon reappears.

I have nothing against WU updates, and I will install one the day that
the update description says "Fixed a problem where the WU icon
disappears". In the meantime I just hide them.

Best Regards.
