Windows 7 Pro x 64-Windows Update Question (Solved)

(1/4) > >>

Roy Whitethread:
I installed and ran the Tweaking.com Windows Repair program today and was very impressed.

I have just one query. When I open Windows Update and go to Update History it says no updates have been installed, which is incorrect, whereas Installed Updates correctly shows that a total of 221 updates have been installed. How can this discrepancy be resolved?

Please advise.

Thanks and regards, Roy

It's quite possible that one of the steps to resolving Windows Update problems in WR is that the SofwareDistribution folder was emptied or renamed to SoftwareDistribution.old which will remove the update history.

It doesn't affect the number of installed updates.

Boggin, thanks a lot.

Best regards, Roy

- The "C:\Windows\Softwaredistribution\Download" folder contains all the download files.
- The "C:\Windows\Softwaredistribution" folder contains info on what the status is of all downloads/updates.
- Windows Repair deletes the content of the entire "C:\Windows\Softwaredistribution" folder.

Willy2, thanks and regards, Roy
