I am looking for how we can schedule azure VM restart once security updates are installed thorugh Microsoft intune or if there is any other way to do so.

Update rings in Intune should take care of that for you.

Thank you for asking this question on the Microsoft Q&A Platform.

You can set the Automatic VM guest patching for Azure VMs

Hope this helps!

According to the documentation:

Patches are applied during off-peak hours for IaaS VMs in the VM's time zone.

The patches can be installed any day on the VM during off-peak hours for the VM.

Patches are installed only during off-peak hours for the VM, depending on the time zone of the VM.

The VM must be running during the off-peak hours for patches to be automatically installed

Hope this helps!
