HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search
If you don’t see a “Windows Search” below the Windows folder, right-click the Windows folder and select New > Key and name it “Windows Search”. Right-click the “Windows Search” key (folder) and select New >

If Windows 10 is not updating automatically then it is most likely due to system file(s) corruption.
To remedy this run SFC from the Adminstrator Command Prompt window as shown below. Once complete reboot and run Check for Updates within Settings, Update & security.
sfc /scannow
If this fails run DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management)
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
When finished restart PC and Check for Updates again
Install Subversion (SVN) as follows:
sudo apt-get install subversion
This command exports the GitHub PROJECT folder and subfolders and to DEST
svn export https://github.com/USER/PROJECT/trunk/PATH DEST
Suffix the PROJECT folder with /trunk and append the folder /PATH you wish to download. If the DEST folder does not exist it is automatically created.
For example the following command copies Tutsplus 30-days-to-jquery/lessons folder to lessons folder on the local drive:
svn export https://github.com/tutsplus/30-days-to-jquery/trunk/lessons lessons
For those who want to know all the details here is a document which explains how this RFC 5961 flaw can be exploited:

The fix itself:
net.ipv4.tcp_challenge_ack_limit = 999999999
which is appended to
/etc/sysctl.conf file using a text editor
and applied with
sysctl -p
Most importantly a command to show if your Linux OS is patched already – I had to trawl quite a bit to find this https://community.centminmod.com/threads/linux-tcp-flaw-cve-2016-5696-allows-hackers-to-hijack-net-traffic-inject-malware-remotely.8304/
sysctl -a | grep ack_limit
net.ipv4.tcp_challenge_ack_limit = 100
As you can see from above it was set to 100 on my desktop running Ubuntu 14.04 with all the updates on 18/08/16.
