Situation

LM.Detection.exe is flagging some patches as Not_Applicable.
Some patches during the Discover Applicable Update (DAU) are not recognized as patched.
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) is showing the patch as installed, and the %Zenworks_home%\zpm\*.state file is showing the same patch as Not_Applicable.
ZPM patch numbers do not add up like other patches to the same device, under the ZCC | Patch Management | Patches
Here is a short list of patches with the problem:
