On Windows computer we can view the list of installed QFEs or updates from Add or Remove programs wizard which can be opened from Run by executing the command Appwiz.cpl.  If you want to generate this list from command line you can do so using WMI(Windows Management Instrumentation).

Executing the below command will print the whole list of hotfixes/updates.
