Patches are installed within 30 days of the monthly patch releases, following availability-first orchestration. 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. If a VM is powered off during a periodic assessment, the platform will automatically assess and apply patches (if required) during the next periodic assessment (usually within a few days) when the VM is powered on.

To install patches with other patch classifications or schedule patch installation within your own custom maintenance window, you can use [Update Management](./windows/tutorial-config-management.md#manage-windows-updates).

It can take more than three hours to enable automatic VM guest updates on a VM, as the enablement is completed during the VM's off-peak hours. The extension is also installed and updated during off-peak hours for the VM. If the VM's off-peak hours end before enablement can be completed, the enablement process will resume during the next available off-peak time.
