No error code, just "undoing changes".

I could`n find the option "view update history"
Then you shouldn't be posting in a forum for W8.1. However, I see the same symptom, there is currently nothing in the search index which lets me find Update History. I have to know where it is and how to navigate to it. In W8.1 it was wuapp.exe In W10 it is ms-setttings:windowsupdate (or even more manual navigation starting with Update & Security, etc.)
