Server 2016: How to read Windows Update logs WindowsUpdate.log

[SaiTech]

Hi,

If you open the log WindowsUpdate.log you can read this.

Windows Update logs are now generated using ETW (Event Tracing for Windows).
Please run the Get-WindowsUpdateLog PowerShell command to convert ETW traces into a readable WindowsUpdate.log.


If I run Get-WindowsUpdateLog I got an log that dont say me so much:
