I have an application that depends on the .NET 5 runtime being on the server. One day it started failing with strange messages. Turns out the .NET runtime was no longer there. Ok, thats strange. So I started looking through windows updates etc. Not sure where to look.

What Ive done so far is look through the Windows app log with the filter on MSIInstaller and I found a few hits on or before the problems started. Given a specific KB# how can one find the contents of what was being done for this update?

If you have the KB number you can search for it in the Microsoft Update Catalog

Once the update found you can click on the link in the column "title" enter image description here

This will open a pop up window which will provide a link to the Microsoft support site page for this update. enter image description here

This page normally contains all the information you are looking for, including a "File information" section that list all files modified by the update with their version number.

Note that normally a simple google search with the KB number should find this page, but the above method provide more guarantee.
