List Windows Updates Via PowerShell and Export Them to a CSV File
If you need to view all of the Windows updates on your computer in an easy to read format, you can use PowerShell to view them all along with their details such as the install date and KB number. You can also use PowerShell to export the results to a CSV file that you can then open with Microsoft Excel so you can format it as needed.
The main command
Get-WUHistory | Select-Object -First 25
If it can't find the command, you will need to run
Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate
And then most likely
Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate
If you get an error that says
Module cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system
You will need to run
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Here is the command to export your updates to a CSV file. Just be sure to change the path and file name as needed.
Get-WUHistory | Export-CSV c:\updates.csv
