  1. Missing Update History


    In attempting to find information online as to what may be causing an issue with my mouse, I clicked on a link that I thought would be helpful. Instead, I ended up discovering something else.

    The article I was reading mentioned an update. When I went to find that update, I discovered that ALL updates prior to March 2019 have mysteriously disappeared from the update history. I looked in:

    Settings>Windows Update>View update history and
    Settings>Control Panel>Programs and Features>View installed updates

    In both locations, there are no updates listed prior to 3.14.19. In looking at the updates in Programs & Features, you would swear this was a brand new computer b/c there is so little listed. I bought this laptop in November 2017.

    This laptop has not been reformatted. There's been no System Restore done. No new hardware has been installed. Google Earth Pro was installed on 3.31.19. In looking around after discovering the missing Windows updates, I found that SEVERAL programs apparently update automatically... something I am not a fan of, but with this Windows 10 was unaware they were set to do so. There appears to be 15 programs that update automatically.

    Anyone have a clue as to what happened to all the Windows updates? And couldn't this potentially be a problem later if repairs are needed and no one knows what's been installed and what hasn't?

    :)

    Update History Not Displaying Latest Update


    If nothing shows in update history, try clicking on 'uninstall updates'. Sometimes this list is more complete. Having said that, I have nothing new in either list. Bree

    Thanks, Bree. I followed your suggestion and it worked. Missing Update History :)
