Steps to Reproduce

Installed versions

npm list -g
C:\Program Files\nodejs
+-- npm-check-updates@10.0.0
`-- npm@7.0.8

node -v
v15.2.0

Execute ncu -g

Current Behavior

ncu -g
[====================] 2/2 100%

All global packages are up-to-date :)

Expected Behavior

Should show npm updates.
Current npm version is 7.0.10

In earlier versions npm updates are listed when executing ncu -g.

This is likely due to a bug in npm v7-v7.0.10. See npm/cli#2155.

As soon as that PR is merged and published, it should work. In the mean time, you can use npm v6.

It still might be useful for you to post the following information, just to be sure it's not an issue with having multiple versions of npm installed.

• which npm
• which ncu
• npm prefix -g

@raineorshine this should be fixed upstream AFAICT.
