2018-05-05T19:54:13+00:00 Thanks for the clarification. I understand that only installed updates from 2016 until the present are visible in Update History. To address the issue, you need to reset your Windows Update components. Just download the file from this link, unzip it, then run the Reset Windows Update script.
We'll be waiting for the results.
