The German Magazine "PC-WELT" just mentioned that automatic Windows updates are not always as automatic as you might suppose:
" Under the term "Update Connectivity", Microsoft determines the time that Windows devices are switched on and connected to the Windows update server. Microsoft had thus found out that devices that are not connected for a certain time are very likely not to be updated successfully. The data would show that devices must be connected continuously for at least two hours and a total of six hours of continuous online time after Microsoft releases updates for Windows to be reliably updated. This would allow for a successful download and any background installations to restart or resume once a device is active and connected. "
