I suddenly noticed that even if I selected вЂњCheck online for updates from Microsoft UpdateвЂќ in the horrible new update dialog, I never got any of the additional updates.

#GET UPDATES FOR OTHER MICROSOFT PRODUCTS MISSING SOFTWARE#

Software can choose to keep a custom record of applied updates and there is no feasible way for vScope to keep track of all the locations possible.I was preparing to roll out SQL Server 2016 and Windows Server 2016 and had deployed the first server in production. Updates to other software that do not utilize the Windows Installer subsystem will not be found by vScope.

#GET UPDATES FOR OTHER MICROSOFT PRODUCTS MISSING PATCH#

If any patch is missing the timestamp then vScope cannot reliably find the latest installed product update. The latest timestamp for these updates is the source for the tags Last Product Update Date and Last Patch Date. VScope reads the registry on the target computer and finds all records of product updates. Windows Installer performs the installation and places a record in the Windows Registry for each installed update. Updates are applied through the Windows Installed and a common file format is. These include updates to other Microsoft products like Microsoft Office. These are updates that do not touch core components of the OS. Also, slipstreamed updates are usually missing the InstalledOn attribute. If the the InstalledOn field is blank (highlighted in red) for some entries then WMI cannot find a record of when the patch was installed. Read more here about the causes and possible fix for the problem.

If the table returned by the query is completely empty then you either have a completely fresh Windows installation or there is corruption in the servicing stack which is providing data to the Win32_QuickFiењЋngineering class. The result should be a table with installed patches:

Get-WmiObject Win32_QuickFiењЋngineering.

To see if your system is affected you can open an elevated PowerShell on the target machine and run: If this is the case, vScope cannot reliably find the latest date a system update was installed. The error can either manifest itself as no update information being returned at all or some instances of the Win32_QuickFiењЋngineering class missing the InstalledOn attribute. This is most likely due to an error in WMI on the target computer. You might sometimes experience that these tags do not show a correct value. The latest timestamp is used as source for the tags Last System Update Date and Last Patch Date. VScope uses the attribute InstalledOn which is a timestamp found on instances of this WMI class. These files are the source for the WMI class Win32_QuickFiењЋngineering (QFE). mum files in a specific folder as a history of core components updates. msu and the installation is performed by TrustedInstaller.exe in later versions of Windows. These are updates that update OS core files and use the CBS (Component Based Servicing) in Windows to update core components.

These often use custom ways of updating themselves and are not delivered through WUA. Product Updates вЂ“ Updates for other Microsoft productsД«oth ways can be delivered through WUA, a separate deployment system or even manually.System Updates вЂ“ Updates for OS core files.We separate updates into three categories:

#GET UPDATES FOR OTHER MICROSOFT PRODUCTS MISSING INSTALL#

The Auto Update Last Install tag in vScope will NOT include these installations since they do not use WUA to automatically update the system.

If WUA is not used for update delivery in favour of another deployment system or you download updates and apply them manually, then the following applies: This key is the source for the tag Auto Update Last Install in vScope. When the WUA successfully installs an system/product update, a registry key (LastSuccessTime) is updated in the registry.

The diagram below illustrates the different paths taken when installing updates.Дetects, downloads and installs updates from Windows Update, Microsoft Update and WSUS. This includes hotfixes (QFE), updates to Microsoft products and even updates for Windows Defender.

Auto Update Last Install вЂ“ Date when Windows Update Agent last installed something successfully.

In other words, the maximum value of the two tags above.

Last Patch Date вЂ“ Last date when either a System update or a Product update was last installed.

Last Product Update Date вЂ“ Date when a product update was last installed on the machine using the Windows Installer.

Last System Update Date вЂ“ Date when a HotFix/QuickFiењЋngineering (QFE) was last installed on the machine.

There are four main tags in vScope displaying patch information for Windows.
