Hi,
I've got a Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard machine
I want to check if the machine got the latest Cumulative Update.
To this date, the Cumulative Update is: KB5016622
What I've checked:
On SystemInfo > HotFix > the KB5016622 is shown
On Updates History > the KB5016622 is shown with the status "Successfully Installed"
the OS Build is also ok - 14393.5291
But when I'm checking the keys under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages" I've found keys with "CurrentState" 64 (Staged) - They won't change, even after several restarts.
I want to find a way to query without a doubt that the cumulative update was installed successfully.
(Registry, WMI)
Results from the Registry are attached (Registry Key Name, CurrentState Value)
236667-registryresults.txt
Hi,
Can you run this command on the PowerShell Console
(Get-HotFix | Sort-Object -Property InstalledOn)[-1]
or
Try this command:
get-hotfix | Sort-Object -Descending -Property InstalledOn -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Thanks for the reply!
As I understand from the following article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-hotfix?view=powershell-7.2&viewFallbackFrom=powershell-5.0
The PowerShell command using the Win32_QuickFixEngineering WMI Class and it got the following note:
The Win32_QuickFixEngineering WMI class represents a small system-wide update, commonly referred to as a quick-fix engineering (QFE) update, applied to the current operating system. This class returns only the updates supplied by Component Based Servicing (CBS). These updates are not listed in the registry. Updates supplied by Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) or the Windows Update site are not returned by Win32_QuickFixEngineering
Do you know about the registry keys I've talked about?
Hi,
Did you look for the actual KB in the registry? Try this command to pull out the stats using WMI if the Get-Hotfix does not pull the stats.
wmic qfe list full /format:table
or specific update
wmic qfe list full /format:table | findstr /i "5016622"
Export the registry and upload to onedrive so I can have a look.

Hello
Thank you for your question and reaching out.
Please search Cumulative Update from control panel GUI.
In Control Panel, navigate to Programs > Programs and Features ->Click on 'View Installed Updates' to see the full list of updates
If you are able to find it then from it then there is no need to check or dependent on Registry.
