missing update history

after downloading the recent software update for windows update my update
history has been wiped does anyone know how or if this can be restored?
System restore does not replace the missing history but just stops WU from
working alltogether, giving the error 80245003 which is covered by many
posts on
this site.
however no one mentions a fix for the missing update history
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

The fix for that error (80245003) involves renaming or deleting the
SoftwareDistribution folder. That folder is where the MU History is kept,
so of course you lose it when that folder is renamed or deleted.

However, keep in mind that the History isn't really that important,
especially for items listed there that are more than a month-or-so old. I
suggest you not worry about restoring your MU History, since a new one will
be created as you continue to use AU/MU.
