Since standard Windows updates were stuck on a laptop (Windows 7 64-bit), I used wsusoffline.

After some hours, all seems OK. From the install log of wsusoffline I can read lines like

27/05/2017 19:30:21,72 - Info: Installed ..\w61-x64\glb\windows6.1-kb2840631-x64_022ec000034f19b7ce059c0f5175bb921b53badc.cab

But the point is that I can't see the knowledge base references (for example, kb2840631) in the control panel history.

Is that normal? How can I double check it has been installed indeed?

How can I double check it has been installed indeed?

You can use the following command to list all of the installed updates:

wmic qfe list brief /format:texttablewsys > "%USERPROFILE%\hotfix.txt"

  • QFE - Quick Fix Engineering (patches)
  • Texttablewsys.xsl - Optional style sheet for table format

Source Quick and Easy Way to List All the Windows Updates Installed on Your System

The output file will look something like this:

Use - find or findstr to search the output file for a particular update that you are interested in:

> find "KB971033" hotfix.txt

---------- HOTFIX.TXT
