Does windows update show updates installed if the updates were installed manually

patch-managementwsus

I am investigating a new system in our environment.

When I got to Windows Update it displays that there never has been any updates.Windows Update Example

This machine is connected to a WSUS Server. I know that the "Updates were installed:" field will list the date that updates were last installed.

Will this display field list anything if updates were displayed manually? Using an executable for example.

Yes. You can also View Update History using the link in the left, which will list it, among other methods, like checking installed updates in the control panel, or running systeminfo from a command line.
