[Implemented] Show updates for Microsoft Windows

OLLI_S

In the Log-Files of VulnDetect I found the following lines (I just removed the timestamps at the beginning of the lines):

Searching updates: IsInstalled=0
Found 2 updates
Searching updates: IsInstalled=1
Found 16 updates

I think the IsInstalled=0 is for available Windows Updates.
In my case there are 2 updates as not installed listed.
If I go to the Windows 10 Updates, then I see that a Reboot is required (so there are indeed updates that should be installed).

It would be cool when you show this information at top of the list of applications, because it increases the security of my system.
So I see that there are pending windows updates available.
But add also a note that the number shows the information of the last scan and that the updates might already be installed.

In the Configuration you should add a checkbox "Report Windows Updates" at the new section Scan options (this section is needed for other suggestions).
This checkbox is checked by default.

I really wonder if it is possible to search for updates of Windows via command line.
This would be a real benefit for users if you start the check via VulnDetect and then show a message in the list of applications that there are Windows Updates available.

So stay tuned, this feature will be released soon.

They have some bugs in the rules but they are on a good way....

@OLLI_S This figure is great as some companies or users thinks they are supported as they have W10. They do not know about the 30 months support for the September release. Same for home users.

Now VulnDetect shows in the list of apps available Windows updates.
Here one example from my personal PC:

Great, this feature is very helpful!
