Azure Arc enabled Servers unable to assess Updates
Starting yesterday, several of my Arc-enabled Win 2019 and 2022 Servers are unable to assess Windows Updates anymore.
Error: "Assessment failed due to this reason: Not able to complete assessment within specified time."
Is there anything I can do to reinstall "WindowsPatchExtension" as it won't automatically install itself after removing it from the Extensions?
(It's not available for manual install, at least not via "Install extension" GUI)

If your Arc-enabled servers can't assess updates and the WindowsPatchExtension is missing, you can manually reinstall it using Azure CLI or PowerShell since it doesn’t show in the portal. Just run a CLI command to add the extension back, and it should start working again.
