Restart After Windows Server Update

Hi,

After I performed a Windows update on my server, all the updates were installed, and a restart notification window appeared with two options: - Restart Now & Schedule the Restart. I chose Schedule the Restart option and scheduled the server to restart after 2 days. Then I closed that window and opened it again after some times, I saw the following error

Now I have two questions:

  1. Will my server restart after two days as per my schedule or will it restart automatically after active hours.?
  2. Why does windows installation indicate there was a problem installing some updates while it displays a restart notification following the installation.

    Hello,

    1. If you scheduled the restart for two days later, then the server should restart at the scheduled time. However, if the server is actively being used during the scheduled time, the restart may be postponed until a later time when the server is not in use.
    2. The error message you are seeing indicates that there was a problem installing some updates. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as a conflict with other software or a lack of available disk space. The restart notification is displayed because some updates require a restart to complete the installation process, even if there were errors during the installation.

    I hope this helps!

    Best Regards,

    Hi Hania,

    Thanks for your response.

    How can I reschedule the restart if I need to.? The option to schedule the restart is no longer visible
