Unable to get the list of patches while running Invoke-AzVMPatchAssessment

[subhendu-de]

Description

I'm using Invoke-AzVMPatchAssessment to retrieve the list of pending patches in an Azure VM. As per the documentation, it returns PSVirtualMachinePatchAssessmentResult containing a Patches property.

However running the Invoke-AzVMPatchAssessment returns empty/null Patches property while CriticalAndSecurityPatchCount is more than 1.

Shouldn't it return a list of pending patches in the Patches property?

@hilaryw29, could you please work with Maulik to debug this issue?

This seems to be an issue with PowerShell, as the API is returning the Patch information. I'll escalate this to the PS team.
