I have a new WSUS server setup (Windows Server 2012 R2) and I'm using my workstation and a Windows 7 VM for testing. The initial test for my Windows 7 VM worked fine but now I am seeing some major inconsistencies.
On my Windows 8.1 workstation, when I run "check online for updates" it tells me there are 63 important updates available but 50 of them are needed. (see picture)
When I check WSUS, I am seeing that my workstation needs 16 updates (see picture). When I compare the two, the updates that WSUS says I need are the 13 "unchecked" out of the 63 on my local machine when I click to see the details. When I search for the other 50 Microsoft updates in WSUS, I can find them using the search tool but they show as NOT needed in WSUS for my workstation, even though Microsoft Update says I do.(see picture)
I checked with another Windows 8.1 user and got the same result. I've never run into this problem before.
I am scanning for Windows 8.1 and Office updates: - Critical Updates - Feature Packs - Security Updates - Service Packs - Update Rollups
What am I missing here? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
