Windows 10: Windows Update: can't access "View Update History" and "Advanced Options"

Image

As image, those two options remain in boldface/selected but nothing happens.

If I try to access those two options through Start menu, I have a blank window that loads forever.

I've tried to run Windows Update Troublehooter and the Reset Windows Update Tool, running option 2. Nothing: problem still persists. Please help me.

Windows 10 View Update History

There is no "View your update history" option in the Advanced option Window. Things have apparently changed since you posted this. Have another suggestion?

 

Windows Update - "Advanced Options/View Update History" Problem


Hello.

Hope someone can assist me with the issue I am having in windows 10 Pro.

A few days ago my system Automatically updated to Windows Pro v1511 (OS Build 10586.14)... all went well and seemed to be OK.

Now to my Problem...

When I now go to check for updates it does its checking for updates thing then installs any available update but once it has completed this and I click on "Advanced Options/View Update History" in that all I get is a blank page and all it says is no updates have been installed yet....

But I know that it has installed windows defender updates? because I have seen it download them and complete the updates?

I have tried the reset (windows update .bat) file floating around on the forum, but all that does is clear everything and still no updates are showing in the list when I go to "Advanced Options/View Update History"...

Can anyone please help me get that all back to normal....

This has only been an issue since this update to Windows Pro v1511 (OS Build 10586.14)..

How do I know that the updates in Defender or anything else for that matter are actually installing.. seeing that they are not being listed in the "View Update History" list...

Is anyone else having this issue and if so any assistance on how to fix this will be appreciated...

cheers

  Advanced option Window.
• Check, all the Windows update KB article numbers installed in the
