TurboTax secretly does NOT download all the Massachusetts State Tax Form updates. How many updates were done for Mass?

Long story short, I've been using TurboTax for years and know it normally updates the Federal and State Forms, often numerous times.

 

To clarify: I have auto updates enabled on both machines, I let it update (and let it installed them), rebooted, checked for new updates (and let it install them), rebooted, checked for new updates, rebooted, let it sit for 4 hours, waited till next day and checked for updates. I also reinstalled and the desktop still shows the no MA update thing. 


I have TurboTax on my desktop and am filling it out like usual (I have progressed deep into the State tax section, I'm not at the beginning, I've gone all the way up to the point where I could file if I wanted to) notice it doesn't show having done ANY Massachusetts updates! 

Totally as a test (not expecting any differences), I installed it on a Laptop, and I was surprised to see it shows there was ONE Massachusetts update in May 20th 2020 (no other updates before or after).

Now my questions are, how many Massachusetts state updates does yours show??? How many SHOULD it be showing on a properly running TurboTax???

If my Desktop is already missing ONE (and I found it by complete accident), I'm not confident my laptop caught them all either (they could have been TWO, but my laptop picked up only one).

I only found this out by complete accident, I wonder it has affected other people who did not notice?
