Why do some missing patches or bulletins appear to change severity depending on view?

0

Some bulletins are issued that have different severities depending on the target platform. For instance, an issue may be critical on XP but only important on Windows 7 because something like UAC mitigates the severity on the other platform. Depending on how you scope your view, looking at a machine’s missing patches versus all missing patches, the highest severity in the given context is displayed. If you change your context, this severity may be displayed differently.
