Windows Update Last ticked: 10 hours ago

For a few weeks now, I've been puzzled by the fact that Windows Update is reporting a "Last ticked" time.

I finally realised that it's a mistranslation. In NZ, we would commonly say that a box is ticked rather than checked, but we still "check for updates".

Context matters.

Photo looking at across Lake Kaniere. The water is still and flat, reflecting the sky above. The sky is mainly clear and the winter sun is low.
