The updates installed using WUA APIs are not reflect in Windows Update page within the Settings app in the machine and hence the updates installed through Azure Update Manager are not visible in Windows Update page in the Settings app. The Windows Update page in the Settings app shows the progress and history of updates managed by the Windows Update orchestrator workflow.

1. During update installation, Maintenance window utilization is checked at multiple steps. For Windows and Linux, 10 and 15 minutes of the maintenance window are reserved for reboot at any point respectively. Before proceeding with the installation of the remaining updates, it checks whether the expected reboot time plus the average update installation time (for the next update or next set of updates) doesn't exceed the maintenance window.

In the case of Windows, the average update installation time is 10 minutes for all types of updates except for service pack updates. For service pack updates, it’s 15 minutes.
