After watching the demo, I attempted to follow along and look for the .txt file found at C:\ProgramData\USOShared\Logs\User and System. However, there was no .txt file. Tried following Microsoft KB's found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/windows-update-logs and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/windowsupdate/get-windowsupdatelog?view=windowsserver2022-ps&viewFallbackFrom=win10-ps&preserve-view=tru . Get-WindowsUpdateLog -ETLPath resulted in error.
Is there a KB that shows how to convert the ETL files from C:\ProgramData\USOShared\Logs\User to .txt?

Hey Donald, currently there is no publicly available way to convert USO ETL files to text. This tool: https://aka.ms/wucopylogsexternal does convert WU files to text format which you can use for your debugging needs!
- mhartsteinDec 01, 2023Brass ContributorWhen will a tool be made available that can convert the USO or UX logs? We already had Get-WindowsUpdateLog to convert the WU ETLs. I feel like this session only increased frustration at how impossible it is to actually get at the detailed logging. (And that's not even talking about the inability to tail the logs in real-time...)
