Windows Update update history feature update 24H2 gone

My laptop was originally running Windows 11 22H2, and I upgraded to 23H2 and then 24H2 sequentially via Windows Update. The entire process was normal, and I didn't reinstall the system. However, after the upgrades, I noticed that the "Feature Update Windows 11 22H2" record in the "Update History" had disappeared, leaving only update information for 23H2 and 24H2.

Then, in January of this year, I upgraded to 25H2 via the KB5054156 enablement package. Shortly after, the "Feature Update Windows 11 23H2" record also disappeared. And today, even the "Windows 11 24H2 Feature Update" record is gone; feature updates don't show 25H2, but the system clearly shows it's currently running 25H2.

I'd like to ask if this is a normal process of Windows Update clearing old feature update records? Or is it related to my laptop waking up very slowly after sleeping yesterday and then restarting? Also, will this situation affect future Windows updates?

This is usually not something to worry about. The Update History page is not a permanent record of every feature update ever installed. After major upgrades, enablement packages, cleanup, or Windows Update database refreshes, older feature update entries may disappear. The more reliable place to confirm the current version is Settings > System > About or by running winver.

Since the system now shows Windows 11 25H2, the upgrade itself appears to have completed successfully. The slow wake from sleep and restart yesterday is probably unrelated, although the restart may have allowed Windows maintenance or cleanup to finish. This should not affect future updates as long as Windows Update continues to scan and install updates normally.
