Problem updating Windows Explorer

[VicM]

Hi,
I'm using Win11 Pro on a new Dell laptop.
I periodically get notified to update Windows Explorer. The notice says to right click the taskbar and select Properties, then select Update on the popup window.
In the past, this used to work as described. But lately, maybe the last 2 or 3 times when notified to update Explorer, when I right click on the taskbar, the Properties link does not appear. The only two items to appear are Task Manager and Taskbar settings.
I have to go thru several steps to try finding the update. For this latest update I have been unsuccessful.
Does anyone know why the Properties link no longer appears when right clicking the taskbar?
And is there an easier way to navigate to the update for Windows Explorer?
Thanks,
Vic

Hi! Try this:
Press Windows + I to open the Settings app
In the left sidebar, click on Windows Update
Click the Check for updates button. Windows will search for any available updates and install them automatically.
