Windows 10: Installed Updates GUI History. Where is the data (list) stored ?

A minor issue...

Windows 'Backup and Restore' treats the installed Windows Update list as temporary and something that should not be included in a disk image. This means that any restore process returns a 'no updates have been installed' message and the list is blank. Of course all the previous updates are still present and correct and things pick up correctly from this point on.

Question. Is there a simple .text file etc that stores this data ? I'm thinking that if there is, then a copy could be made prior to running a restore and that this file could then be transplanted back thus restoring the full update history.

As you can see in the image. I have only this months updates installed despite running W10 since last year. Why ? Because I restored a disk image last week. The list has been reset.

windows phone apps on web site

This is somewhere within SECURITY, settings and purchases and something I occasionally trip over ....but not the answer...

You do this from your phone and is much easier to find

Store (...) MyApp lists Apps no longer on phone

Store (...) MyApp downloaded History lists Apps

downloaded to phone the date being installations or last update an is the same data if memory serves

 

Windows Analytics Questions

Hi guys:

I Just had few questions about Windows Analytics, hope someone can help answer them.

• How often does our computer upload the telemetry data, and how big it is?
• How do we retire a computer from Windows Analytics once we remove a Windows computer from our AD?
• How long does Windows analytics store the data, like your crashing history?
  

Thanks
