    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, and 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2.

    My SYSTEM THREE is a Dell Latitude 5410, i7-10610U, 32GB RAM, 512GB NVMe ssd, supported device running Windows 11 Pro (and all my Hyper-V VMs).

How can I stop or delete these so I can see the history of successful updates?

This is not answering the question exactly as you asked it, but Office 2003 is installed on all of my computers and since, over the years, I have done many fresh installs, I keeep a permanent copy of that update which, as has been suggested by others here, I downloaded from the Microsoft Update Cataloge. I then just install it manually each time I install/reinstall Office 2003.

Doing this will then give you a "Successfully Installed" entry in the list.

Also not directly to the question but I have older versions on Office on computers I have rebuilt and always install the Compatibility Pack on Office 2000, 2002/XP and 2003 for use in working with files created by the new formatting of Office 2007 and later.
