Windows 10: Windows 11 Update History

I would like very much today to clear the Windows 11 update history. I notice on the 4th month of this year, there is a gob of updates that failed. That would be 3 months before I purchased this wonderful laptop. Strange thing is, the 4th month is showing up first and last in the list of these updates and the more recent ones in the middle of the list that were successful. I just don't like looking at that, so I tried the Troubleshooter for updates but that did nothing. Your expertise will be appreciated in giving me the simplest way to execute this great task.

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.

 

Limited audio in Internet Explorer 11 or Edge after a Windows 10 update

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall Adobe flash player and check if that helps. For Microsoft Edge, I suggest you to check if the Flash player services are turned on.

Also try clearing the history from Internet Explorer:

View and delete your browsing history in Internet Explorer

If you think that the recent update has caused the issue, I would suggest you to check if you are able to delete the downloaded update by following the below steps:

• 
  Open Settings
  
• 
  Click on Update and security >Windows updates
  
• 
  Click Advanced options
  
• 
  Click View your updates History
  
  Click uninstall updates on the top, the page installed updates would open and you can uninstall updates easily by right clicking the specific update.
  

Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I'm not sure how differant XP media center Edition is but you could clear the history \ cache if these folders are there.

Step 1 Register DLL files.

=================

By trying this step, we can check if the update engines are working properly.



1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

2. Click Start and Run, type "Regsvr32 atl.dll" (without quotes) in the Open box and click OK.



Note: There is a space between regsvr32 and atl.dll



3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:



Regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Regsvr32 wuapi.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

Regsvr32 wups2.dll

Regsvr32 wucltui.dll

Regsvr32 wups.dll

Regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Regsvr32 qmgr.dll

Regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

Regsvr32 jscript.dll



Note: If you encounter errors while registering any of these files then skip that file and continue with the next one.



If the issue persists, let's move on to the steps below to verify Windows Update services and temporary folders.



Step 2 Verify the relevant Windows Update services.

=========================================

1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".

3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.

5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.

6. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.

7. Please repeat the above steps with the other services:



Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Event Log

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)



Note: Event log service is enabled on all of the hardware profiles; this service does not have an option to enable or disable on certain hardware profile.



If it still does not help, let's proceed to step 3.



Step 3 Reload the Update temporary folders.

===================================

One possible cause is that the temporary folder for Windows Update is containing corrupted files. Let's erase all the files there to get the system clean.



1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net stop WuAuServ



2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.

3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.

4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net start WuAuServ



Please test the Windows Update website and let me know the result. If the issue persists, to clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, please assist me in collecting the following information.
