Hhmmm… did you run a registry cleaner?
Why shouldn’t the updates be shown there? Did you install Vista SP2?

I’m sorry, my OS is Windows XP SP3.

Oh! Yes. I use Registry Cleaner by CCleaner. Also use Registry Cleaner / Defrag by Auslogics BoostSpeed.

You won’t find Windows Update in add remove programs as it isn’t a program, but an integral part of the OS.

You also won’t find it in the Control Panel if you are looking for windows updates, it is listed under Automatic Updates, see image, is that in the control panel ?

yes automatic updates is show in control panel list !

So what is your problem now all appears as it should as you won’t see updates listed in the windows ‘Automatic Updates’ interface.

If you have installed a patch outside of the automatic updates, the only way to check is if you know the KB number, check C:\Windows where security updates are listed.
