The update report enables us to review the updates that have been processed by each computer and then evaluate their current deployment status. Because each update is evaluated by the client computer, Windows Intune can only determine if the update is required once the computer has contacted the service. There are a huge number of updates available for Windows and the other products managed by Windows Intune and any report will be very long, which is a strong indicator that this data is perhaps easier to analyze in Microsoft Excel.
There are a number of reports we may wish to examine—these can be managed by changing the filters available to us in the report and if desired saving each view.
