The reason I am pointing this out, is that IE11 has become a little unstable recently. I wanted to update, but cannot find a way to force the update.
Thanks.

With the limited info, I don't know what screen you are actually looking at. Is your device a desktop, laptop, tablet?
Certain functions are allowed on the basis of hardware and disabled if the hardware can't support the function.
The settings screen should be headed with UPDATE & SECURITY and the left column should list
Windows update, Windows defender, Backup, Recovery, Activation, For developers. (possibly others)
The main panel (right) should say Windows Update with a comment beneath such as "Your device is up to date. Last checked (Today), (time)
Beneath that, should be a Check for updates box. Below that should be Looking for info on the latest updates with a "Learn more" and "Advanced options"
clicking the "Learn More" should take you to ----
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...setting_client
which gives you the option to get the Anniversary update right now rather than waiting for the push.
In any case, if it's updated automatically, then you shouldn't need to select anything because it's done for you just not at your convenience.
I used to be an IE11 user but it became far too unstable so I changed over to Chrome. Hey, trust me, it's MUCH better with only 1 or 2 exceptions.
However, Microsoft is pushing their new EDGE browser. The version you have now is 'bleh' but the one in the anniversary update is purported to be much better, enabling extensions and other enhancements.
Anyway, if you go directly to Microsoft's site (above), you should be able to force the update immediately. Good Luck
