I have a windows VM and update management configured. The machine is off most of the time. However, when i need it, i don't want to wait for updates to be installed. Thus, i configured a schedule in update management, so that updates are installed every day at night. (When the machine is normally turned off.)

I was expecting for update management to boot the machine in order to install updates and turn it off after updates have been applied. This, however, doesn't seem to happen.

Am i doing something wrong? Should the machine be turned on for updates? (if update management can't do this: is there another way to do this?)

You can do it through Azure Automation using pre-scripts and post-scripts. Here it is all information about it.

There are two Runbooks to start/stop VM in order to update them. This video shows you how to do it.
