Windows 10: How to confirm if patches for vulnerabilities are applied on PCs

Hi there,


Microsoft provides us with security patches. I can see them on the list when I navigate to Control Panel -> Uninstall a program -> View installed updates. However, there are some of them which I cannot see on the list. For example, "Security update for the information disclosure vulnerability in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 KB4506164" the link is below is not displayed but WSUS shows it is applied in my PC. So I guess some patches for software not OS components might not be listed. I tried a few command lines from command prompt or powershell but they did not work.

My question is that there is a way to list up/check all the applied patches from my PC not from WSUS.


Lastly, I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong category.

Thanks,

Patching windows 10 vulnerabilities

Hi,

I'm new to windows and to the community so excuse me if I miss some community guidelines.

I've installed windows 10 (build number 14390) a few days ago, and today out of paranoia run a vulnerability scan using retina community. The report came out very colorful (6 high risk vulnerabilies) . I have almost nothing installed apart from the following:

• Visual Studio Code
• Visual Studio Community edition
• Cmder
• MongoDb/Nodejs with some Npm modules
• VLC

I was confused by the fact that almost all the vulnerabilities were Microsoft Office or Microsoft VB6 related and I don't have any of that installed.

Any idea where should I look for patches or how to proceed to fix those problems?

The report included links for Microsoft security bulletins related to each problem but I could not find any software I have installed in order to update it.

I think it goes without saying that I install all the updates Microsoft update finds daily.

Thank you for your time.
