    Hi, You can get the Windows Updates like below and check if the update is in the list.

    $Session = New-Object -ComObject "Microsoft.Update.Session"
    $Searcher = $Session.CreateUpdateSearcher()
    $historyCount = $Searcher.GetTotalHistoryCount()
    $Searcher.QueryHistory(0, $historyCount) | Select-Object Title, Description, Date,
        @{name="Operation"; expression={switch($_.operation){
            1 {"Installation"}; 2 {"Uninstallation"}; 3 {"Other"}
    }}}
