Windows 10: How To See the Most Recent Updates Windows 10 Installed?

With the number of updates by Microsoft, it's often difficult to keep track of when these updates were installed. We're here to help you figure this out. We will discuss two simple ways to see when Microsoft installed new updates.

Quickest way to see the most recent Windows 10 updates


The quickest way to check when updates were installed is by opening Windows settings. You can do this by clicking on the start menu and then pressing the small gear icon. You can also open settings by pressing the Windows key plus I.

Under settings, you need to select update and security and then select Windows Update from the left sidebar. After that, you need to click view update history under the updates section.
You can see all the Windows 10 updates on the view update history page. These updates are always sorted by category. Here's what each of the categories means.

• Quality: These updates are made to the Windows 10 operating system and are significant updates.
• Driver: These are nothing but driver updates that let all devices within the system function properly.
• Definition: These are updates made to the Microsoft Defender anti-malware system. This update adds information about emerging threats so that Windows can identify them.
• Others: These are all other updates that do not fit in any of the above categories.

All categories are collapsed by default. To see each of them, you need to click on them. Once expanded, you will see all updates (last update first). The name of the update will be mentioned on each line, along with the date it was installed.
There would be a web link instead of a name for a few updates. This web link will give you more information on that update. It will open in a new browser. Once you're done checking, you need to close the settings window.



Control Panel method


The other way to check all installed updates is through the control panel. For this, you must open the control panel, click on programs, and then programs and features. Under programs and features, you must click on view installed updates.

On the next screen, you will see a complete list of all installed updates by Windows. You can sort this list by clicking on any of the headers. Once you're done checking, you can close the control panel.

Don’t be in the dark about your updates


As you can see, viewing your updates is extremely easy. You don't need additional software or technical training to view all your updates. Use one of the two methods mentioned here and stay in control of all your Windows 10 updates.

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
