How is the software inventory created in MDATP?
Tomer Tellersorry for chasing you, but can you please explain if few more sentences the ent-to-end process of https://securitycenter.microsoft.com/software-inventory and https://securitycenter.microsoft.com/vulnerabilities get collected? Frequency, timeouts, does it uses Windows Update or registry, etc.
Is there a blog or webinar from the Microsoft explaining this subject so you do not repeat the information? We have customer questions while official Microsoft documentation does not have any details at all. Best regards Serg.
I have the same questions for our environment. I have applications I've updated, removed etc and am wondering how quickly and how these changes corelate with discovered vulnerabilities.
If software is updated or removed then I expect the discovered vulnerabilities to update within a time frame.
If software is added, updated, removed then I expect the software inventory and security recommendations list to reflect the changes within a time frame
Please find below the answers to the questions asked :
- How often when does the software inventory list in MS 365 Defender get updated?
TVM Software Inventory data freshness is currently 3-4h (upper limit, can also be less).
Please refer the below screenshots for the information :
- Can we use a command line or powershell to trigger a software inventory scan?
There is no command line or powershell or anything else to trigger an inventory scan/update.
In addition to that if you have any further queries regarding the issue, please let me know.
Appreciate your time and patience.
Awaiting your reply.

byertjames Where is the link to this screen shot?
That screenshot was from the old version of the website now rolled into Microsoft 365 Defender
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-vulnerability-management/tvm-software-inventory?view=o365-worldwide
I believe this direct link can take you there
https://security.microsoft.com/vulnerability-management-inventories/applications
You now have to select the relevant row and in the side pane click on report inaccuracy as needed.
