    Deleting "Failed Updates" in Update History


    I've disabled automatic updates (drivers, Win updates) by making changes to Win 10. Now every entry in Update History is listed as a failed update. Of course, no update has failed; I don't want to install them yet. Is there a way to delete failed update entries?

    :)

    Thanks. The link seems to have some decent info.

    As far as your question, I did find THIS article, which offers a couple of possibilities.




    Edit: I just saw that the article is a bit dated, but I thought I'd leave it up just in case it helps.

    So am I correct to assume that it's not possible to delete failed update entries individually?
