Why does a remediated control still not show PASS?

Because of Microsoft API propagation times, some Microsoft 365 controls can take 24–48 hours to show a PASS status after remediation. This affects:
-
Entra controls (codes starting with
all-5.) -
Admin Center controls (codes starting with
all-1.)
These controls depend on Microsoft's distributed systems, which need time to propagate changes across global data centers. After auto-remediation, they may show as "waiting for confirmation" for up to 24–48 hours before updating to PASS. This is normal Microsoft behavior, and the status updates automatically once propagation completes — you don't need to remediate again.
