List all installed Windows Updates

It sometimes might be a good idea to get a list of all installed Windows Updates on your system for administration or security purposes. WinUpdatesList is a sweet small software from one of my favorite developers NirSoft. The software lists all installed Windows Updates on your system detailing all updated files on your system.

Besides listing all updated files the tool offers links to the Microsoft website detailing information about the update that has been installed. This is great to verify what the update fixed. All the information can be exported as text, html or xml files.

You can run the software on all Windows operating systems starting with Windows 98 except Windows Vista. WinUpdatesList can also be used to gather the updates from a second installation of Windows XP / 2000 or from a remote computer.

To get these information you use the following two commands:

Another operating system on the same computer: (replace e:\winnt with the drive and dir)

wul.exe /another e:\winnt

Using the software to get the list from a remote computer: (replace 192.168.0.10 with the IP of the remote computer)

wul.exe /remote \\192.168.0.10
