Windows 10 (legacy) — Question 115

You have a computer that runs Windows 10.
You need to view the Windows Update diagnostic log.
What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. From File Explorer, go to the C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsUpdate folder and select Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
• B. From Windows Update in the Settings app, configure Advanced options.
• C. From Event Viewer, modify the properties of the WindowsUpdateClient operational log.
• D. From Windows PowerShell, run the Get-WindowsUpdateLog cmdlet.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct choice, D, is accurate because running the Get-WindowsUpdateLog cmdlet in Windows PowerShell generates the Windows Update diagnostic log. Options A, B, and C do not provide the correct method to access the diagnostic log directly; instead, they involve navigating through file systems or modifying settings unrelated to log generation.
