How ro get and install KB with state 'Pending install' - powershell

Question

I faced to an issue and need your remarks and recommendations about Windows Update with powershell.
Basically i use module PSWindowsUpdate which works well and automate WU by script.
My situation is the following (see screenshot):
From User interface, we see that an update is on pending install
However command Get-WUList indicates that there is no KB candidate (whatever the state)
How can retrieve the KB with state 'Pendint install' and of course install them with powershell ?
Thanks

This code will show Pending updates:
Clear-Host
$TStr = ""
$fmtUpds =
#{Expression={&{
Switch ($_.MsrcSeverity) {
1 {"Critical"}
2 {"Important"}
3 {"Moderate"}
4 {"Low"}
5 {"Unspecified"}
Default {"Other"}
}}};Label="`nSeverity";Width=9},
#{Expression={"{0:N1} MB" -f ($_.Size / 1MB)};
Label="`n Size";
Width=8; Align="Right"},
#{Expression={$_.BrowseOnly};Label="Browse`nOnly";
Width=6; Align="Left"},
#{Expression={$_.IsDownLoaded};Label="Down`nloaded";
Width=6; Align="Left"},
#{Expression={$_.RebootRequired};Label="Reboot`nReq.";
Width=6; Align="Left"},
#{Expression={$_.Title};Label="`nDescription";Align="Left"}
Try {
$PU = get-windowsUpdate -ErrorAction Stop |
Where-Object {$_.IsHidden -eq $False} |
Format-Table -Property $fmtUpds -Wrap |
Out-String
If ($PU -eq "") { $PU = "`tNo Pending Updates Found!" |
Out-String}
}
Catch {$PU = "`n`tRequires Administrative privledges to report"}
Try {
$HU = get-windowsUpdate -ErrorAction Stop |
Where-Object {$_.IsHidden -eq $True} |
Format-Table -Property $fmtUpds -Wrap |
Out-String
If ($HU -eq "") { $HU = "`tNo Hidden Updates Found!`n" |
Out-String}
}
Catch {$HU =
"`n`tRequires Administrative privileges to report`n"}
$TStr += ("`nPending Updates:" | Out-String) +
($PU | Out-String) +
("`nHidden Updates: " | Out-String) +
($HU | Out-String)
$TStr
Sample Output:
