WSUS server shows clients needs updates, but clients are all up to date.

WSUS server shows clients needs updates, but clients are all up to date. The WSUS report does not specify which updates have not been installed. The client/workstation/server windows update reports all up to date. Why the discrepancy? How to remediate this?

Are your clients actually reporting back to WSUS?

Delete the clients first from the WSUS MMC Console and then run the client side script on each affected system.

To avoid miss some important updates, please review the update history first and confirm whether the latest cumulative update(All the previous version cumulative updates are included into the latest version) has been installed or not.

Please review this link to confirm the update history.

Hope the above will be helpful. Thanks for your time and have a great time.
