We have noticed an inconsistency between what Azure update management is reporting and what we see in the WSUS
One host is marked compliant in Update management

    Update management looks at the approval state in WSUS to determine compliance. If there are no critical or security patches approved then Update Management considers it to be compliant. If you approve it in WSUS it should show non-compliant in the dashboard.
