Change update behavior on Windows Server 2016
In server 2016 when downloading an update it also installs the same time (no option to only download), then the 12hour window begins, when this is over and time is outside worktimeframe (which is a somehow strange setting for a server) the server automatically reboots.
The same when I install something microsoft related during workhours which normaly has no effect on user experience, but if setup installs also a patch then the reboot countdown also starts.
Please change back to the old behavior where downloading updates and installing them where different tasks and also rebooting had to be user initiated.
Doing reboots whenever they want isn't what u expect from a server that has only fixed times for maintenance.

Please, please, please Microsoft!! The Active Hours concept on server 2016 is nonsense.
