 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Fixed
+
+- `-Action ProductUpdate` no longer leaves a **stale pre-install Patch Status** on the Binaries Installation card after installing a cumulative update. The live refresh added in #59 read the product/patch status from the configuration-database cache (`SPProductVersions.GetProductVersions`), which is not updated by a local binary install until `Get-SPProduct -Local` runs on the server. SPSUpdate now refreshes the local server's product cache with `Get-SPProduct -Local` before reading, so the card shows the real post-install status (for example `Upgrade Blocked` / `Installation Required`) instead of the pre-install value (`No Action Required`). ([#71](https://github.com/luigilink/SPSUpdate/issues/71))
