There are isolated problems with current patches, but they are well-known and documented on this site. |
Why is the last Windows Defender Antimalware Platform listed under Quality Updates on Feb 27?
The previous one was listed under Definition Updates on Feb 3?
I have no idea how I get the description, if it’s the link (in blue) that you are referring to. The link takes one to the MS-URL {e.g., https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4537572/kb4537572-cumulative-update-for-net-framework for the second one listed in View Update History>Quality Updates (30) }. I started with Win10/Pro, version 1607 and I am on 1909 now. There’s always been a link to the MS-URL for each update/KB file, no matter the version, and on each of my two laptops.
Maybe, someone else knows if there’s a setting that produces these links in the View Update History screen.
You can also find information about the updates for your version by clicking on the link “Learn more” under “Looking for info on the latest updates?” on the right side of the Windows Update screen.
This link takes you to learn more and you then look in the left legend of the page entitled “Windows 10 update history” to find a link to your Win10 version, where all of the updates are listed with links to the MS-URL for the update. This is in the section that is headed “In this release”. Only CUs are listed.
I think your reply got lost in the jumble for a while 🙁
This what I see:

Just because you don't know where you are going doesn't mean any road will get you there.I think wavy’s Update History KB line is clickable (i.e., it’s a link like mine is). It just doesn’t have as much information in it as the Update History KB line that I have (or that DriftyDonN has).
OK. I get it now.
So, now I know what @wavy’s Update History formatting looks like and yes, it’s different from mine. Prior to this, I thought everyone’s Update History was formatted the same as mine is.
I have no idea why my Update History formatting is this way. It’s always been that way since 2016 with my older Win10 and it’s been that way since 2019 with my newer Win10; in other words, it just comes that way. 🙂
I noticed that @DriftyDonN (should have a capital N at the end; I see it in Visual and in Text, but it doesn’t post with a capital N) has the same formatting as I do (except he uses Dark Mode). See another example of this Windows Update formatting.
I’ve looked around to see if there are any settings for WU formatting, but I haven’t found any. Maybe, you could figure out how to get that kind of formatting?? I certainly don’t have any idea.
The description turns generic when an update gets installed manually.

Thats it !!! My Definition and ‘Other’ updates display with the added info.
One less mystery, still plenty to go 🙂

Different look but same destination! Windows is famous for doing the same thing 9 different ways! Why? The Shadow knows….
