Please, find attached screenshots.
Actual result:
Expected Result:
There will be one single Microsoft Corporation group, which will contain all MSFT software.
This issue is quite old and known already for at least 7-10 years at least.Hope, that in KAV/KIS/KTS 2021 this issue will be finally fixed.
The same is relevant for 2020 as well, for that version there is a ticket in Support: INC000011515418
