Microsoft is ridiculously cavalier with "Your device is up to date." It literally says that no matter what the status is. I've never seen it say anything but that, and I've almost never seen a machine that was even kind of up to date.
Curious to know what someone did to stop or prevent updates 3 years ago on a Windows version I'm sure is currently no longer supported lol.

they installed NinjaRMM. It turns out, that it stops updates and reports that everything is up to date regardless.
But the issue that Windows claims to be up to date totally regardless of the update status is different, that happens even with a vanilla install. Just a vanilla install will update itself, so it isn't generally too far off being accurate.

@scottalanmiller A lot of RMM don't show that it is up to date on that screen. However it does show on the installed Updates so just check that. I know I have seen many RMMs do that however the devices are actually updated.

These devices are absolutely not updated. The problem is the opposite... it says up to date, but isn't. Not one. We manually checked around one hundred this weekend. Got about fifteen hundred to go. Those being patched since the RMM was configured to patch and report... zero. But every single one says it is up to date, until you check.

While the words "Your device is up to date" it doesn't really say it's up to date - it says, as of 11/29/2017 - it was up to date.. that wouldn't mean anything for any day after that.
Sure it would be nice to say - only "last checked on date"...
