Why are many important/critical Windows patches automatically listed as Not Approved?

Hi,

I'm not exactly new to ME but I never really got training on it. I just came onto a job that had it and I've been learning to use it by myself for the last year or so. I am a little confused about a few things, in particular, how patches are chosen to be approved or not approved. For example here, I went to All Patches and sorted by approval status and I see that a lot of critical patches are listed as not approved. Why is that? Wouldn't any and all critical patches be approved? I obviously don't want to approve something like the new "Preview" patches, but everything else that's important should just be approved.

Any input is welcomed
