During SSM Maint Window (with WSUS) deployment of Windows Server 2016 updates the Servicing Stack (KB5023788) update appears to install in parallel with the large Cumulative update (KB5023697). When Servicing Stack update successfully completes the server is rebooted - apparently while the Cumulative update is still installing. This causes the cumulative update to fail install with error 0x800F0841 and a pop-up at login wanting explanation for unexpected reboot. How do I prevent updates from rebooting.
