Windows 10 Installed updates

davidhk129 · Nov 17, 2014

This scenario happens in other OSs as well, but my question is on Win 10 TP.

Why KB3016656 appears in Programs and Features > View installed updates, but not in Windows Update > View update history ?

I have Build 9879 Enterprise clean installed with ISO. No left-overs from previous builds.

KB3016725 is also a kernel update. It does not appear to be part of regular Windows Update necessarily.

Here are some details on what this updates:

Is it because those updates listed via Programs and Features can be uninstalled, and those listed via Windows Update cannot ?

The problem of my supposition is.....
KB3016725 are listed in BOTH applications, and it can be uninstalled under Programs & Features > View installed updates.

The updates that can be uninstalled, which you are talking about, would revert you back to a prior technical preview build. They are actually full operating system / kernel upgrades. So when you download the latest preview version, and install it, you are essentially upgrading to a new version/build of Windows. These are expressed as the uninstallable KB numbers you are seeing in Programs -> View Installed Updates. The updates in Windows Update seem to be more security related and cannot be uninstalled or they have been superseded by the latest November kernel update / preview build.

KB3016725 is a "package". The package includes ...656. Except for occasional "kinks" in the system. The History Dbase only shows the Package number. The "installed updates", shows the updates within that package as well.
