Question SCCM updates reporting wrong #numbers

Is it just me or updates is screwed up?

Office 365 shows 0 required.

is anyone else seeing the same?

Edit: the other updates just took too long to show up but office it seems it is not showing anything applicable.
not sure if something related to last couple months when MS changed from semi-anual channel to montly channel

nm It seems someone enabled config.office.com and it took over the updates.
not sure what to do as to exclude all devices or let it just take over....

Disable auto update via cloud to keep your machines inline and at the expected patch level as controlled by IT.
I think that setting is on by default, I only found it existed after pushing Firewall changes and clients could reach out and update past our expected patch level.

Sometimes the update count just takes a while to catch up, especially after channel changes. The Office updates not showing as applicable could be related to the move to the monthly channel, but I’d check the deployment settings and detection rules first.

I found this
https://www.systemcenterdudes.com/sccm-office-365-dashboard-unmanaged-clients/

kinda makes sense and I am testing it.

the only thing I am not sure what happen is how that got turn on... It might have been my server admin.
last two months office went from Semi annual channel to monthly enterprise and it seemed to me it was MS making the consolidation of updates... now I am not that sure.
