I have updates being deployed through SCCM. Is there a way to see the percent/status of the updates installation process on a single machine? I don't want to know how many machines have it installed. I want to know how far along a specific machine is in the install process.

If I launch it in Windows Updates, I can see a percent (I think).
If I launch it with DISM, I can see the progress as a percent.
If I launch it in Software Center, I see Installing...

It would be nice if there is a way to see how far along that specific update is in the installation process.

Is there a powershell script that I can use to query this information so I can see where it stands? Or ever a log file that can tell me the same information?

    Hi @Charles White ,

    Agree with NickHogarth, we could check UpdatesDeployment.log, which records the process of installation.

    Here is the screenshot we could refer to:

    No, I was not aware of this log. And with it's name, I thought it was the progress of the updates on all machines or the copying of the updates to all machines

    This is exactly what I needed. Thank you both.
