At first, I didn't want to believe this. Then I took a look at my Win10 1709 test system, and indeed this is all that's in C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log:
- Code: Select all
Windows Update logs are now generated using ETW (Event Tracing for Windows).
Please run the Get-WindowsUpdateLog PowerShell command to convert ETW traces into a readable WindowsUpdate.log.

So, to analyze what's wrong, you have to have a running Windows system with a working PowerShell. Good job, MS .... NOT! Because you can't analyze unbootable systems in any way, and even working systems can't be analyzed offline
.
but there is nothing in there that suggests that WU was ever run outside of the time I
was patching using WSUSoffline (mod the upgrade from 1511 to 1703)
Unfortunately I don't have any more ideas...
Time to donate again.
Thanks. I'm sure WSUSUpdateAdmin will appreciate it.
