Well - if they are not showing now... it is doubtful they will show.
You can try resetting the Automatic Updates and re-registering it with the
following:

You may have to do this in Safe Mode... But try in normal mode first...

(It covers a lot of bases.)

Reboot your computer and have nothing open before you start the steps....
