Your Device Is Missing Important Security And Quality Fixes

Hi DJ. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP, here to help you.
It likely means you need to Update to the latest version 1803. Check yours at Settings > System > About.
If so what I'd do at this point is install Media Creation Tool from this link, choosing the button to Install Tool Now and then open the installed app and choose Upgrade This PC Now: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m..
This is the most stable way to change to the latest version (which you need anyway) and because it reinstalls WIndows while keeping your files and programs in place, fixes most problems. It also brings all Windows Updates to date.
If there are any hurdles during install then these steps can overcome them: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki..
If these do not help then report back any verbatim error message or behavior.
If you want to temporarily block the update then try running the Hide Updates tool downloaded and installed from here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f2..
If it wont' find and hide the Update then you can set a Metered Connection to turn off Windows Updates for awhile until the version matures and you can try again using the method I suggest which always works best: https://www.howtogeek.com/224471/how-to-prevent..
Almost everyone with major version upgrade problems who Clean installs the same version does not have those problems. This Clean Install should get you past all difficulties as it has hundreds of thousands of others who have followed the steps in this link and never come back to report another problem: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki..
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Installing Windows 10 from USB to replace v. 1803 with v. 1809 resolved the update issue.

However, there were two issues I experienced, and a number of others which have prompted Microsoft to remove the initial Windows 10 v. 1809 update files. In fact, Microsfoft state, “If you have manually downloaded the Windows 10 October 2018 Update installation media, please don’t install it and wait until new media is available.'

The issues I faced was complete deletion of images used for background screens (even from Windows.old) and the failure of Windows Notifications to be displayed. Since I had made a disk image prior to updating, I was able to recover lost files. It took considerable time to find the fix for the Action Center.
