Windows Update Information

I recently bought my first computer and have been spending the last couple
months studying its features and using provided software, etc. I have found
within the Control Panel a feature which allows me to display Windows
Updates with information including the NAME of the update, the PROGRAM to
which it applies, the PUBLISHER, and the DATE it was installed. After
reading emails to Microsoft Communities I have activated I have found a
number of the refer to "KB" numbers in lieu of update names. That's great
for those who are into the guts of their computers on a daily basis. But for
a newbie like me a printed list, a Works database file, or a printable text
file would be a nice item to have handy. I find that I cannot copy from the
Update Information Window, likely because that window also serves as the
install - deinstall activities window. Is there a way to get the listing I
can see on screen onto paper or bundled software file? Thanks----Skipper2

Like this?

There is many ways to do that.For example another way

Run cmd.exe and type

WMIC QFE GET >%USERPROFILE%\DESKTOP\UPDATES.TX
On your desktop appear file *Updates.txt* with full list of update
