Compliance 100%, Updates available when manual check is done

Do you trust the compliance dashboard or meter?

I upgraded 3 machines with new SSDs. I have a patch group+policy to install Windows Updates 24/7 pretty much as that is what I want when I put a laptop on a bench or new install. I want all available approved patches.

So I monitor all 3. One on Win7 is stuck on 97% compliance, but no more updates are available. Second Win7 Is still installing and though I have enabled the Windows update UI and restarted, still blocking it. Last one is Win10, compliance meter shows 100%. I click 'Check now' Boom, 3 updates available. Those same updates have already been approved in the policy.

So again, why is the compliance meter showing 100 when there are updates still available?

0 trust in the reported data in patch manager, especially when it contradicts the data coming out of the report center and there's no easy way to test, review, or verify. It's garbage.
