$NtninstallKB885884$ and KB885836.log

I have a bunch of these type of files in my windows folder

As far as I know those files are the infromation to uninstall the Windows
Updates. the KB number is the number of the update.

These $uninstall----$ folders are used whenever you want to uninstall a
windows update. If you delete them, you can not uninstall the update(s), but
if the updates are working fine for you, there should be now reason to
remove them.
