SCCM Patches vs Manual Windows Updates
when i run manual windows updates and when i run updates through SCCM i see a different number inconsistent wanted to get an answer why.
What do you mean by "different number"? Do you mean you see a different number of total updates installed? Or that the updates themselves are different numbers?

i read an article there are some updates not available on SCCM or WSUS
Do you have a link to the article?
SCCM uses WSUS to get its list of available updates, so they shouldn't have different lists of updates

called Microsoft manual updates certain updates(None crucial are not available to download via sccm)
I can't find an article by that name. However, you may be thinking of hotfixes, which aren't as rigorously tested as other updates, and thus aren't included in Windows Update (and thus not in SCCM by default).
More info on hotfixes, or QFE (Quick Fix Engineering) or LDR releases:

If there's a particular hotfix that fixes and issue you're having, you can manually added it to WSUS:

You shouldn't just apply every available hotfix though, since they're not as rigorously tested and may lead to other problems. Only apply a hotfix if it fixes an issue you're having.
