None of the suggestions here accomplish the OP's need. Any other options? We want a means to force Windows update to send a status report to WSUS server. Exactly as the OP said.

wuauclt /detectnow  wuauclt /reportnow;

These commands dont work on Windows 10.

c:\windows\system32\UsoClient.exe startscan

All this does is check for updates, just like clicking check for updates button.

Anyone?

It's so annoying when the client machine reports it's fully up to date, but the WSUS server says that client still needs 10 updates. So the goal here is to force the status report so the WSUS server status matches the actual status of the client. Sometimes it takes days for it to do this on its own.

I suspect you've already figured this out, but there isn't a way with Windows 10 and WSUS to do what you're asking for.  And my hunch is Microsoft will keep it this way.  If you want better control, their answer is to use a purchased tool like System Center or Microsoft 365 (which comes with InTune).
