Azure SQL VM Automatic Patching not working

Rahul 296

Hello Team,

My SQL Azure VM has Automatic Patching Enabled to Install Windows updates on every Saturday after 11 PM.

Also, VM has Active hours between 6 AM to 12 AM. But still found Unepxted Restart by "svschost.exe" process complete the installation of a planned service pack for the operating system.

I need to understand why this vm restarted and how to monitor it going forward. No reboots should occur until the weekend unless the main host needs to do a reboot, but I still need this explained and monitored.

Thanks
Rahul
