STEP 1:
- Starting with Windows 10
build 9926, Windows Update logs are no longer saved to
"%windir%\Windowsupdate.log".
- Windows Update client
now uses Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) to generate diagnostic logs saved
as .etl files in the "%windir%\Logs\WindowsUpdate" folder. This
method improves performance and reduces disk space usage. However, the
logs are not immediately readable as written.
- After Windows 10 build 9926 logs are here located but no longer readable.
- Click Windows key + R to open Run and type Evntvwr.msc --> Applications and Service Logs\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdateClient
STEP 2:
- Click Windows key + R to open Run and excute PowerShell with administrative rights and press Enter.
- Enter
Get-WindowsUpdateLog into the elevated PowerShell, and press Enter.
- When finished running, this will create a WindowsUpdate.log file on your desktop. It will take a moment to finish.

+ R to open Run and type cmd with administrative
rights and press Enter.
- Type regedit.exe
and press Enter.
- Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
