Ok, thanks. It's a very long list, I just snipped the last bunch. You can see the 1pm that task scheduler grabbed:

365 updates.... you do update a lot for a guy on metered connection!!!
Just joking. Absolutely understandable, it probably starts from the day you updated to (or clean installed) 1803.

Just use the script for a quick look of the 2-hour update setting.
Let's see if and how it works over a metered connection.

@ddelo,

Your script to check if WD definitions updates have been installed seems to be relevant and faster, but wouldn't it be the same thing by going to Windows Update history in "Settings" > "Updates & Security" > "View Update history"

Exactly the same...!
The reason of its existence is in case, for any reason, you delete the history of Windows Update. In that case you won't be able to see any updates.
The scripts gets updates not from the Windows Update database but from the events logs. Which if you don't clear you'll always have all the updates from the date of the installation of the latest Feature Update.
Besides that, it gives all the history, not only the last 50 updates, as WU does!

Just for fun go to the line where it says
$OutputCollection += $output | where Title -Match "Windows Defender",
make the following change, save it and run it:

Code:

$OutputCollection += $output #| where Title -Match "Windows Defender"

It's now 5:22 Pm so this is a new update. The 1PM TS grab cleared the update that was there then.

It is. This one is 1.285.1157.0, whereas the 1PM was 1.285.1143.0

Tom, if you set it to 2 hours, it is 2 hours
Yes you did, I saw it in your image
