    Does zgrep 'install linux-headers' /var/log/dpkg.log* | sort | cut -f1,2,4 -d' ' help? – Kulfy May 21 '20 at 21:09
  • One easy way to check if a kernel update is responsible is to expose your grub menu and select an older kernel to boot from. – user535733 May 21 '20 at 21:10
  • Which Linux distro have you installed (Ubuntu server, Ubuntu desktop, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Mint, et al.), & which release number? Different releases have different tools for us to recommend. Please click [edit] & add that to your question, so all facts we need are in the question.

    Does this answer your question? How to get list of installed packages with installation date? – Kulfy May 22 '20 at 20:50
  • @MitaliCyrus You can change the pattern in zgrep to achieve that. The answers in the above question are more general. – Kulfy May 22 '20 at 21:21
  • @Kulfy Yes the answers in the question above more general, but my question is specific to kernel updates and hence is not addressed in the answers. If you post your solution as a answer then I can accept it since it answers my question. Thank you. – Sunanda Jul 20 '20 at 20:59
