"SC Tom" escreveu na mensagem ... That doesn't seem to work on my machine :-( I use Search Everything and it finds the installation "packages" for any installed update. Opening "This PC" in desktop view and entering the KB number in the search box returns the same results. Open the command prompt and enter this command: wmic qfe list brief /format:htable "%USERPROFILE%\hotfix.html" If you would rather have a text file, the command would be: wmic qfe list brief /format:texttablewsys "%USERPROFILE%\hotfix.txt" I like the text file as most text editors allow a simple key word search. Do you know if there is a similar cmd line for Microsoft Office products and Visual Studio versions? This is a fantastic trick. Up to now I was relying on Belark Advisor to tell me all my updates. On 29th September, I need to update all my machines. I normally update once every 3 months on normal quarter days (for those people in UK would know what these quarter days are ). |

How to find an installed KB in W8.1

... Strange...... Lars & Franklin are right..... But very strange..... Search for "KB2919442" is found But Search for "2919442" nothing is found.... The patch ID is a text field content, not a number. The name of the patch includes the "KB" prefix, so if you search for a hotfix named "2919442" there will be no exact matches. The WMIC command does have pattern-matching capabilities: WMIC QFE WHERE (hotfixid like '%2919442') GET * /VALUE but it's easier just to prepend "KB" to the number (and you don't need to remember that WMIC uses '%' as its wildcard). Irritating, yes. Strange, no. Joe |

Opening "This PC" in desktop view and entering the KB number in the search box returns the same results. What are you doing? The instructions by Lars work on Win 8.1. Have you done some configuring that you've forgotten about? Control Panel/Programs and Features/View installed updates/ then type in the KBxxxxxxx in the search box in the upper right corner (the box titled Search Installed Updates) Compared to the other suggestions, just eye-balling the list (not _that_ long a list) would be quicker. Y'all can talk to Lars about the ****ed up quoting and top posting. And Homer gets a +. That way it DOES work. I was searching from Control Panel Windows Update View Update History. From there, search doesn't find anything. I wasn't even thinking of Programs and Features. -- SC Tom |
