Update Inventory

Update Inventory shows operating system updates observed on endpoints.

Open Inventory > Updates.

Views

The page supports update-focused and endpoint-focused views.

Use it to find:

• missing updates
• installed updates
• endpoints affected by a selected update
• update inventory that needs follow-up

Update Inventory is also used by job tasks that scan or apply endpoint updates.

Update List

The update list shows:

• update title
• KB article IDs
• support article link, when reported
• classification
• severity
• missing endpoint count
• installed endpoint count
• last seen timestamp

Use the table controls to search by update title, filter by classification or severity, and sort by title, classification, severity, missing count, installed count, or last seen time.

The list loads more rows as you scroll.

Update Detail

Open an update to see installed and missing counts, first seen and last seen timestamps, and the endpoints related to that update.

The endpoint table marks whether each endpoint reports the update as missing or installed. Use the endpoint table toolbar to search, filter, sort, choose columns, and refresh the affected endpoint list.

Endpoint-Focused View

The endpoint update view lets you start from an endpoint and inspect its reported update state. Use this when troubleshooting one device, and use the update-focused view when planning across the fleet.

The Current view uses the endpoint's newest stored update inventory snapshot, regardless of whether it was collected from Microsoft Update, WSUS, APT, or an offline catalog. The left sidebar identifies the requested provider, effective source, and collection time below the view navigation.

Windows snapshots also show reported Windows Update policy, including quality-update deferral. For example, Active — 30 days after release means Windows can withhold a newly released quality update until the 30-day period ends. Not reported means the agent or stored snapshot did not provide the setting.

Online inventory reports the updates Windows currently offers under the endpoint's effective policy. A reachable Microsoft Update scan can therefore report zero missing updates while a quality-update deferral is active. This result does not by itself confirm that every applicable update is installed.

Open History to review snapshots from every source.

The fleet endpoint view also shows the source of each endpoint's current snapshot.
