- Windows Updates
- Posted by Tom on October 15th, 2005
According to my Update history of downloaded Windows updates there's over 100
installs so far. In the Add/Remove programs list I used to see all (most,
never counted em) of the installed updates. Now all I see is the one for
SP2. Is this cause for any concern? When MS checks my system for new
updates it doesn't list any of the previous installs as being needed
but........
Thanks in advance

In Add/Remove Progams, make sure there's a check mark in the
box near the top next to "Show updates". I've got 44 listed
under Windows XP. You may have more or less. You will not see
any that were installed prior to SP2. Any items in your
installation history prior to installing SP2 will not be
displayed. I believe that's due to the fact that SP2 includes
all of those previous updates.

before but Shazam! There they are
