So I have Fury but when I click on Movie Updates it says there are no movies available for update. Is there something else I should be doing to get the updated version?

Just means the updates were to a different resolution than you have downloaded, so you'll get the updated version automatically the next time you download it.

HD update


Edit: Looks like the HD file is missing in all of the 3 HD updates so the update won’t dowload for the time being
 
Not sure how to fix this. War of the Worlds in 4K [which I own] has totally neutered bass. How can I get the non 4K one, as it doesn't even seem to appear in the store. I have a disc version which I can rip but it would seem that I should be able to get the HD version on K. Any ideas?

Go to the title, hit download, next to "Will download" select "Change" select HD.
Though if you just tell it to download everything, it will attempt and then pass over the 4K version and download the HD.

HD update
This one is intriguing. The Breakfast Club was already updated for Strato V Compatibility last year, but is now reappearing as a new update. I had previously reported both on his forum and to K that the version on the K Store was from a very old master, and that all other digital stores had been updated with a superior version of the movie. I was quite disappointed to see the prior Strato V update simply be a compatibility fix without getting new assets.

So, do we now have assets to match the latest Blu-ray and other digital stores??? I don't know, it won't download. I'll report as soon as it does...

Thanks. Looking forward to hearing what you find out. I own this on K, but have not watched since I also own the Criterion blu-ray which I assumed was a better transfer. Hope we are now getting the newer transfer of the film. Great movie!
 
Looks like most (if not all) of today's HD Strato V compatibility updates are not correctly listed/populated; either showing only the SD version's info (file size/audio tracks) or no info at all.

It looks like we've got new assets!

I'll still do some A/B comparisons with the latest Criterion disc, but upon initial inspection this looks like the newer master. Previously the opening credits had a jitter to them that was particularly noticeable with the Bowie quote. Then, during the initial intro montage the reds appeared over saturated. Neither of those issues are present in the new download.

Now, particularly if you haven't seen the Criterion disc or other digital store offerings, don't go in expecting a modern remaster. This film is certainly a product of it's time and has a active grain structure throughout, but the newer master is certainly an improvement over the old 2010/2012 Blu-rays (which I believe were the source for K's prior offering).

Again, I'll look into it more for myself, but I think this one gets to come off the "Better on Disc" list and once again live on a Terra.
