  Hi Everyone. I am hoping some others more knowledgeable about SQL Server than I may be able to help. I have SQL Server 2012 Express installed. It appears to be working fine. However, Windows update keeps telling me I need to install Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 (KB2958429). When I go into view Windows updates, it shows that update as installed. However, my vulnerability scans also show it as missing. The first time it failed installing with Windows Update, I downloaded and installed the SP manually. I am having the same issue with KB3045321 which is a security update for SP2. If anyone has any idea why this may be occurring, I would be grateful for the help. Thanks.

  Interesting note - when I try to manually install KB3045321 it tells me that "There are no instances of SQL Server or shared features that can be updated on this computer".

  First thing to do is log into SQL Server and run this query select @@version

  This will tell you what build version SQL Server thinks it is on.

  To tell what that build version means look at this site:
