Check if Windows Server 2019 has Windows Updates installed

How can I check if Windows Updates have been installed in Windows Server 2019 Standard?

We have Windows Server 2019 Standard, and Windows Update says that the last update was on 9/19/2019. According to Windows, no updates have been installed in over two years.

After asking around, I was told that IT disabled automatic Windows updates and that IT installs the Windows updates. Supposedly, the server is up-to-date. IT doesn't reply to emails or calls, so contacting them would be useless.

Is there another way to check if the Windows Updates have been applied?

This is what "Installed Updates" tells me: enter image description here

The update history, which you posted, should display any and all Windows updates whether installed manually or automatically. Another method of checking is to open powershell and run wmic qfe list. This should list all of the updates including the HotFix (KB) number and link, description, comments, installed date, and more.

get-wmiobject -class win32_quickfixengineering is another option that should show less information from the first.

Here is another thread that might prove useful.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
