Update installed but Software Centre keep showing "Waiting to install"

Question

We deployed a Dell update few days ago via SCCM.
Windows update history shows the update has been installed, but Software Center keep showing the update is waiting to install.
How can we remove the error?

Answer 1

Hi,

Could we know this issue is on the specific client or some client? Is the update deployed by SCCM? If so, please check if the update is really installed by checking UpdatesDeployment.log or we could navigate to programs and features on this client.

If the update is installed, please run the policy in the following screenshot:

After running the policy, please restart the client to check if the issue is solved.

Hi RONIRONI-4126,

If you search online for this firmware update you will find remedial instructions for enterprise customers. As it’s a firmware update, a reboot is required.
