    Thanks you all for all your help.

    @Rita Hu -MSFT is there any Microsoft link that might explain why MRT can not be listed with either wmic or powershell and not showing on "installed updates" ?

    Thanks

    Thanks for your posting on Q&A.

    I have reviewed my lab. The result is as the same as your environment. The Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - KB890830 updates didn't shown on the Control Panel\Installed Updates.
    But I noticed that the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - KB890830 updates shown on the View update history in the Settings. Here is a screenshot for you:

    In my opinion, it is the product design. Other Updates and Definition updates won't added in the Control Panel\Installed Updates.

    Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

    Best regards,
    Rita
