What is the difference between KB updates in "Quickfix" and "Installed Updates"?

[Obi_1_Cinobi]

The difference relates to the Windows data sources that Lansweeper uses for each view

• The data displayed on the Windows Asset under Software > Installed Updates is retrieved from the Win32_ReliabilityRecords class.
  • https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/racwmiprov/win32-reliabilityreco...
• The data displayed on the Windows Asset under Config > Windows > Quickfix is retrieved from the Win32_QuickFixEngineering class.
  • https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/cimwin32prov/win32-quickfixengineering

QuickFix displays all applicable hotfixes currently installed on your Windows system, but it does not provide a complete history of every hotfix ever applied to the machine. To improve vulnerability detection, we enhanced our asset data by adding ReliabilityRecords to our code and extracting the corresponding KB information from them.

If you are reviewing the data at the database level, the relevant tables are documented under Reports > Database Documentation and include:

• tblReliabilityRecord
• tblReliabilityRecordUni
• tblQuickFixEngineering
• tblQuickFixEngineeringUni

Note: The "Installed Updates" feature was introduced with Lansweeper version 12.6.
