Update got installed and rebooted the server outside of the maintenance window

Hi,

I need some assistance on this. One of the servers that we managed installed a patch and then did a reboot outside of it's scheduled Maintenance window. We use Connectwise Automate to manage patching and so far has been working fine. Maintenance window for this server are on Mondays, 11PM-1AM. Just this 1 patch, KB5000803 got installed during office hours and caused the server to reboot after it got installed. I checked with Connectwise support and they informed that all the settings are correct, but lately they have found that MS has been aggressive in pushing down updates and trying to bypass Automate to do this.

Is there a setting I can turn off or enable to ensure that this doesn't happen again and doesn't have any effect on CW Automate managing the patching for this server? The OS is Windows Server 2016 Standard x64.

Thank you

Hi,
Since you are using the third-party software to manage patches, Microsoft has no relevant settings for this.
It is better to consult their support to resolve related issues.
In addition, problems that may be caused by installing KB5000803 has been solved by an out-of-band update on March 18, 2021.
For your reference:

Hope above information can help you.
