Guest narcan Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I recently noticed that the Update History in Windows Update is empty and that the Updates I've hidden before are missing as well (this section is empty too). I'm not sure when this happened as I don't check this often. After I ran an update session however, the updates which I installed in that session do show in Update History, however the old ones are still missing. Anyone any idea as how to fix this? (I'm also wondering where these update history lists are stored on the system). I'm running Vista Ultimate btw. Friendly regards, Kees Spierings

Guest narcan Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 They do show up under Program and Features -> Installed Updates (all the updates, old and new), it's not really a problem for me, I'm just wondering what happened to them in the Update History under Windows Update.

The same thing would have happened if you had had to clear your SoftwareDistribution folder (e.g. as part of a suggested repair.) The good thing to note is that Windows Update History is now working "as designed" for you. ---
Guest narcan Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 No, just Vista. I'm starting to think it might have something to do with updating Office, which seems to invoke Internet Explorer, which installs Windows Update it seems and says that it has added Windows Update to the control panel (doesn't work in Firefox, not even with ie tab).
