 ## Periodic assessment
 
- Periodic assessment is an update setting on a machine that allows you to enable automatic periodic checking of updates by Update Manager (preview). We recommend that you enable this property on your machines as it allows Update Manager (preview) to fetch latest updates for your machines every 24 hours and enables you to view the latest compliance status of your machines. You can enable this setting using update settings flow as detailed [here](manage-update-settings.md#configure-settings-on-a-single-vm) or enable it at scale by using [Policy](periodic-assessment-at-scale.md).

+Azure Update Manager relies on the [Windows Update client](/windows/deployment/update/windows-update-overview) to download and install Windows updates. There are specific settings that are used by the Windows Update client when connecting to Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Windows Update. Many of these settings can be managed by:
 
 - Local Group Policy Editor
 - Group Policy
 - PowerShell
 - Directly editing the Registry
 
-The Update Manager (preview) respects many of the settings specified to control the Windows Update client. If you use settings to enable non-Windows updates, the Update Manager (preview) will also manage those updates. If you want to enable downloading of updates before an update deployment occurs, update deployment can be faster, more efficient, and less likely to exceed the maintenance window.

 For additional recommendations on setting up WSUS in your Azure subscription and to secure your Windows virtual machines up to date, review [Plan your deployment for updating Windows virtual machines in Azure using WSUS](/azure/architecture/example-scenario/wsus).
 
 ## Pre-download updates
 
-To configure the automatic downloading of updates without automatically installing them, you can use Group Policy to [configure the Automatic Updates setting](/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/deploy/4-configure-group-policy-settings-for-automatic-updates#configure-automatic-updates) to 3. This setting enables downloads of the required updates in the background, and notifies you that the updates are ready to install. In this way, Update Manager (preview) remains in control of schedules, but allows downloading of updates outside the maintenance window. This behavior prevents `Maintenance window exceeded` errors in Update Manager (preview)
