To be honest, I haven’t paid much attention on Windows Update history but I think I should go and see what it has inside after reading this post. Useful as always Mitz

I am never able to watch videos, as it stops every 3 seconds, so I have given up. What do I do?

Hi Bob
I think this can happen after installing a new service pack update…If the Update history is missing then the only thing you can do is go to “Go to Installed Updates” link then you can see what is installed.

Hi Mitz, Can’t help with an error message—didn’t get one!! That’s why I don’t know when this happened. Just noticed when wanted to check on an Update. About 150 listed Updates just disappeared. I suspect Microsoft have something to do with this via Automatic Updates. All my Updates are Custom Installed
but somehow I must have re-enabled Auto install.Disabled again now. Need to get the whole list back —in History and in Add/Remove Programs.

It is not correct to say there is “no Update History” for Windows XP! It has ALWAYS been been possible to “View your Update History” in Windows Update. All Installed Updates should be listed there!
I have just recently noticed that my Update list before March 11, has suddenly disappeared–including from Add/Remove Programs.It also went from All Programs list–but I have got that back.
How do I get the Update list back?– In “View Update History” and in Add/Remove Programs?
All Updates are installed—Belarc Adviser proves that!
