TVM Recommendations not accurate
Greetings, all!
I've been deep-diving into MEM and MDE for the past 2 weeks, and there are things I'm not getting in the Threat & Vulnerability Management part.
For example, in my own tenant, I am getting recommendations to update a Windows 11 and a Server 2019 to the latest patches, even though when I look on these devices, both have been updated!
It looks like the devices are not being "re-evaluated" (?) from a security perspective in the console and updated with the correct info.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I have stumbled upon the exact same issue on Office 2016. I have multiple devices which all of them have the version 16.0.4266.1001 installed, but TVM is showing that two devices are missing security updates from October 2021 (KB5001982).
When I check directly on the devices what latest security update for Office is installed it shows KB5002143, which is from April 2022 and per my understanding it super-seeds the older updates.
If I open the KB page for https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/description-of-the-security-update-for-office-2016-april-12-2022-kb5002143-fc2032e9-b064-457e-90ee-c1770737c7cd, it correct states that 5002143 replaces https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/description-of-the-security-update-for-office-2016-january-11-2022-kb5002060-0b4cc000-b8ff-468a-a7f2-c1a983033951 which replaces https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/description-of-the-security-update-for-office-2016-october-12-2021-kb5001982-b9d2e528-6df0-46d3-b509-b59f53c4737e.So my conclusion is that TVM is showing incorrect information on this.
Did you get any information from Yammer or any other sites? Or were you able to solve it by yourself?

Jacques_Sauve I believe the recommendations refresh every 24 hours. If it's been longer than that, there might be an issue with device connection. I would recommend you to check the "last seen" date on the device.
