I wouldn’t expect it to be but it’s not listed under any of the other categories.
It’s interesting that you’re seeing it where I expected to see it.

AskWoody PlusFebruary 2, 2021 at 11:26 am in reply to: MS-DEFCON 4 – Make sure January updates are installed #2339845I installed January updates this morning.
WU said it was downloading 2021-01 Cumulative Update KB4598242.
After it was applied I looked at update history and it wasn’t there so I looked at Installed Updates and saw it there but labeled as Security Update.
Cumulative updates for 10, 11 and 12/2020 are all listed in update history.
Is this to be expected for January cumulative updates?
If so what’s the reason for not including all cumulative updates in update history?
thanks.

AskWoody PlusAugust 26, 2020 at 1:11 pm in reply to: Problem reported with Win10 version 2004 upgrade: Search doesn’t work #2291849running Win 10 1909 with July updates.
I first noticed this problem with File Explorer search yesterday.
Today I determined that File Explorer search doesn’t work if I start with Pictures library and then go to subfolder under Pictures on D drive but if I start at D drive under This PC and then go to same subfolder it works.
I haven’t noticed other side effects. I did not reset my password. No idea what might have caused the problem which isn’t even consistent based on where I start in File Explorer.

Is there a good reason why installed updates aren’t listed in history?

AskWoody PlusI installed Windows 10 on a newly built computer on March 8.
I’m not seeing the March update and I think I should be seeing it with given my settings, e.g. not paused.
KB4537572 was waiting to be installed this morning.
Is it possible that the Windows install on March 8 included what was released on Patch Tuesday, two days later?
Thanks.

Do I need to turn off metered connection?
Are there other settings that might be preventing the upgrade?
Thanks.
