Once you have verified that Q811493 is properly installed,

The Windows Update history log file is called "iuhist.xml"
and it is located in C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate\V4.
This is a hidden directory so please change your view
options to show hidden files and folders.

(Control Panel > Folder Options > View)

Look in the "iuhist.xml" file.
