Fail installing updates event log

Why there is no event log error for fail installing Windows updates in clients?

SCCM push updates using ADR that create new software Update group each time. I noticed that some updates are failed to install in some servers because of maximum run time (it seems some servers take much time to install the update), however there is no event log shows this in windows event log. I checked Systems logs and filtered based on source of WindowsUpdateClient. the only log i got is event ID 43 (Installation Started: Windows has started installing the following update: ). and this keep repeating every time the update agent try to re-install the same update and it failed. I can see this in Updates History in Windows Updates settings window.

 Any idea how to catch this failure in event log in client machines?
