  I'll have this 'updateScope' filtering to retrieve the list of updates from a single computer.

  And I'm using 'LatestRevisionApproved', but when I run it I'm also getting  some superceded Updates, that I'm not interested on it, because I know that computer will never apply.

  I may add an additional filter by each update, but Is this setting the good one to filter SuperCeded Updates? Why is not working as I expect?

  $updatescope = New-Object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateScope
  $updateScope.ApprovedStates = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.ApprovedStates]::LatestRevisionApproved  # Includes updates whose latest revision is approved.
  $updateScope.UpdateApprovalActions = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateApprovalActions]::Install
  $updateScope.UpdateSources = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateSources]::MicrosoftUpdate;
  $updatescope.ExcludedInstallationStates=@('NotApplicable','Installed')
  $updatescope.ToCreationDate = (get-date).AddDays(-$days)
  
  
  $wsus.GetComputerTargetbyName($computername) 
  
   $updatelist = $mycomputer.GetUpdateInstallationInfoPerUpdate($updateScope)  | where {$_.GetUpdate().IsSuperseded -eq $False}
    write-output "Number of Pending updates $($updatelist.count)"
   "Search Range From: {0:dd-MMM-yyyy} To: {1:dd-MMM-yyyy} (-{2} Days)" -f $updatescope.FromCreationDate,$updatescope.ToCreationDate,$Days
   
    foreach ($update in $updatelist ) {
          $updateinfo=$update.Getupdate()
   
            [pscustomobject][Ordered]@{
              Status=$update.UpdateInstallationState
              Approval=$update.UpdateApprovalAction
              ArrivalDate=get-date $updateinfo.ArrivalDate -format dd-MMM-yyyy
            #  ApprovalTargetGroup=$update.GetUpdateApprovalTargetGroup().name
              PublicationState=$Updateinfo.PublicationState   # expired?
              Approved=$updateinfo.isapproved
              KB=$updateinfo | %{$_.KnowledgebaseArticles -join ","}
              SuperSeded=$updateinfo.IsSuperseded
              Declined=$updateinfo.IsDeclined
              Title=$updateinfo.title
            }
     
        }
