the microsoft update catalog offers search based on update id as through the following link https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=2ACA9060-0321-4F44-B15D-EBBD911A6295 So, to download device driver packages, to be used for later use, i used to go to C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log (Generated by Get-WindowsUpdateLog during recent times) and watch for driver titles and their update ids below. Then i used to search for the driver page in microsoft update catalog and download precisely that particular driver. Say, for example, for the following title in WindowsUpdate.log ``` 2023-12-02 17:15:11.5213155 148 8072 Agent Title = Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Display - 31.0.12027.9001 2023-12-02 17:15:11.5213175 148 8072 Agent UpdateId = 96941A83-1B8F-430C-96A5-9522B8586A19.1 ``` the relevant search webpage link for microsoft update catalog used to be https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=96941A83-1B8F-430C-96A5-9522B8586A19 But, when i open this link, the website says update requested could not be found. And if I search Microsoft Update Catalog website with the driver title, none of the results include the update id shown by the WindowsUpdate.log Example: for the above listed title ``31.0.12027.9001``, the search https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=31.0.12027.9001 gives three results, but none of them include the specific update id shown from WindowsUpdate.log [microsoft update catalog search results][1](sorry, can't post images) So, How to download precisely these specific update id based driver packages, that windows update downloads, to be used for further clean installations of the same OS?
