I think that this will b a very usefull tip for all of the members and other. What happens when you have recently installed your windows and then turned on automatic update. After 2 or 3 months you have to reinstalled your windows and all your updates downloaded by automatic updates get lost. So here's a trick to get some of them. After so much searching on internet I didn't find anything by which I could know the directory

. But after some reaserch by myself on my windows I get it

. So go to Windows\ SoftwareDistribution and then Download. Here you will find the setups of some updates. Here you will find folders with some strange names containing both numbers and alphabets. Then copy them to safe location. To install them go to folder of update then to update folder and run update.exe. So install it

. But not all updates can be restored by it.
