### The device installed a newer update then the expedited update I deployed
There are some scenarios when a deployment to expedite an update results in the installation of a more recent update than specified in policy. This result occurs when the newer update includes and surpasses the specified update, and that newer update is available before a device checks in to install the update that's specified in the expedite update policy.
Installing the most recent quality update reduces disruptions to the device and user while applying the benefits of the intended update. This avoids having to install multiple updates, which each might require separate reboots.
A more recent update is deployed when the following conditions are met:
- The device isn't targeted with a deferral policy that blocks installation of a more recent update. In this case, the most recently available update that isn't deferred is the update that might install.
- During the process to expedite an update, the device runs a new scan that detects the newer update. This can occur due to the timing of:
- When the device restarts to complete installation
- When the device runs its daily scan
- When a new update becomes available
When a scan identifies a newer update, Windows Update attempts to stop installation of the original update, cancel the restart, and then starts the download and installation of the more recent update.
While expedite update deployments will override an update deferral for the update version that's specified, they don't override deferrals that are in place for any other update version.
### Log location for the Update Health Tools
The Update Health Tools are used when you deploy expedited updates. In some cases, you may wish to review the logs for the Update Health Tools.
**Log location**: `%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Update Health Tools\Logs`
- The logs are in `.etl` format.
- Microsoft offers [PerfView as a download on GitHub](https://github.com/Microsoft/perfview/blob/main/documentation/Downloading.md) which displays etl files.
