What Windows XP updates? Windows XP, as far as I recall, went EOL in 2014 and you can count the number of updates since then rather easily. One emergency update in 2014 for Internet Explorer and one emergency update in 2017 for a vulnerability being used by WannaCry. Even updates to the older Office versions are increasingly rare.

Or perhaps you are working for one of those rare sites which paid for continued support for Windows XP?
