Hello,

my problem is following:
1. I make some updates with wsus offline updates
2. After that I look into update history list and can't find the installed updates.

Where can I find my installed updates?

Please help me.

Best regards

Welcome daevwe!

You are using Windows Vista or above?
From "Review your update history" follow the link "Installed Updates"!

Hi Harry,

I am using Windows 7.

After installing wsus updates there are no new items in my update history.

Thanks a lot for help.

It seems to be the same on all computers. If you do not install the updates as msu-file, they won't be listed (I did not test the installation of cab's using dism). But because the links in wsusscn2.cab only proviede non-msu links, we need to do this way of installation.

Hi aker,

do I have any possibility to find my wsus-updates in registry or somewhere else?
Where do I know that my wsus-updates were installed correctly?

I do not know how to add / search them manually. (I am unsure, but maybe you will find some cat-files with the name of the update ind one of the subdirectories of C:\Windows\Servicing\) But if wsusou does not report an error while installing the updates and Windows Update does not mark them as missing, they are installed. If you want to test it, just download the msu-file from Zhe Microsoft Download Center and try to install; it will tell you that it is incompatble or already installed.

ok.

But now I have a PC from my colleague.
He added updates with WSUS.
Now I want to know which updates he added.

There must be a possibility to check which updates are done with WSUS.

Thanks a lot for help.

Take a look at C:\Windows\wsusofflineupdate.log

-> in my "C:\Windows\" folder there is no "wsusofflineupdate.log" file

Start -> search for "cmd.exe" -> Right click -> run as administrator -> enter the following code and press return
It will take some time, but this shows all installed packages (including updates). If that does not work, I do not know, how to find the updates.

Code: Select all

dism /online /Get-Packages /format:table > C:\packages.txt


This will create the file C:\packages.txt, it lists up all installed packages.
