Windows Update scan

When using the Windows Update site, what is scanned to determine missing
patches? Is the scan searching the registry to determine installed patches or
is the scan actually checking file versions to determine if a patch is
needed. The reason I ask is because our security scanning tool is only
checking the registry for installed patches. Our desktop staff says the list
of missing patches is incorrect because the way they are installing patches
isn’t making the registry entries (SMS packages or something like that)
Thanks
