We are noticing strange behavior with patches this month (February). They are automatically installing and not waiting for SCCM. Machines have not checked in with SCCM but already have reboot prompt from Windows Update. We have seen it happen on Read-Only vdi machines and regular laptop/desktops. Windows 10 and Windows 11 would have a toast notification.

Since we noticed the behavior we have disabled Automatic Updates and will wait for next patch Tuesday to validate that it will have the desired result. Our fear is that this way we will lose out on Windows Store apps self updating.

    Automatic Windows Updates being enabled or disabled has no bearing on app updates from the Microsoft Store; Store app updates use a different mechanism and different policies to control them.
