A list of all the Windows 8.1 updates [closed]
I am trying to find a list of some sort, which lists all the released updates (I mean every single one of them), for a specific version of Windows in release-date order. Does anyone happen to know if such a list exists or not?

You can get update lists from Windows updates downloader site:
The Update Lists (ULs) contain the necessary list of updates for each of the versions of Windows listed below. You will also find ULs for other software such as Office and Exchange.
- Download
ulzfile for your OS - Rename to zip
- Unpack
- Rename unpacked file to
xml - Open with any text\xml viewer
by the way are you a hundred percent positive that this list has all the updates ever released for windows 8.1 listed?
I'm not sure that those lists include superseded\declined updates and all revisions\rereleases (more about terminology here). It makes no sense from the practical standpoint. If you really need a list of every update ever released, the only thing that I can think of is to deploy a WSUS server, approve all updates for particular system and grab them using this or similar script.
