@youngsik Ahn To enable automatic VM guest patching on a Windows VM, the property osProfile.windowsConfiguration.enableAutomaticUpdates determines which patch modes can be set on the VM and this property can only be set when the VM is first created. This impacts certain patch mode transitions:

For VMs that have osProfile.windowsConfiguration.enableAutomaticUpdates=false, disable automatic VM guest patching by changing the patch mode to Manual.
For VMs that have osProfile.windowsConfiguration.enableAutomaticUpdates=true, disable automatic VM guest patching by changing the patch mode to AutomaticByOS.
Switching between AutomaticByOS and Manual modes is not supported.

Hello, SwathiDhanwada-MSFT.

My understanding was that it cannot be changed with 'Manual updates'.

What I want is to automatically run Windows updates in Azure and prevent the server from automatically rebooting.

Regardless of my intention, the server automatically reboots, causing the service of the Windows application in use to be interrupted.

Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thanks.

@youngsik Ahn The registry keys listed in Configure automatic updates by editing the registry and Registry keys used to manage restart can cause your machines to reboot even though you specify Never Reboot in the Schedule settings. Configure these registry keys to best suit your environment so that your machines don't reboot. Kindly note that serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require you to reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be resolved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

I previously set up the registry, but the server automatically updated and then rebooted the server.

As shown in the screenshot above, the server reboots automatically after the update due to 'Some settings are managed by your organization'.

Patch orchestration is assumed to be automatic first.

I cannot change this setting.

Because of this, the server automatically reboots every time, causing a lot of trouble with the service.

I think MS Azure can solve this part. But I can't find a way.

If this solution is not resolved, I think Azure will be a big issue.

Thanks.
