Softwarecenter does not show optional applications

Hi,

strange thing, newly installed clients (4 devices yet) dont see the optional applications in software center, existing clients see all optional applications.

We have MECM 2002 + KB4560496 (5.0.8968.1042) - we updated 6 weeks before but problems seems to be new - but i dont know exactly - client installation is not my part, this feedback started on tuesday

Installation log of clients looks good during OSD but after that i only see forced applications (and already installed during OSD) and optional applications deployed for users collections but not optional applications deployed for device collections

We have one large collection for default devices and mostly deploying applications for this collection.

checked the collection -> clients are member
checked deployments for these devices inside MECM console -> its fine, everything is there.
run "deploymentmonitoringtool.exe", checked "deployments tab" and see all the optional applications in the list
so software center hides them? Checked some settings but did not found anything
client settings are equal for all client devices (except some testing devices)

reinstalled of one the 4 clients just to check if same things happens -> yes same happens

per default dont stress the MECM, take a break and let MECM takes his time but OSD finished before 20 hours (standby is off, started policy actions, checked logs but i cant see any bigger error which would explain this behaviour)
