Would suggest to check this before contacting Microsoft support:
- Verify Schedule Settings
Ensure that the schedule settings for the Thursday maintenance window are correctly configured. Double-check the time zone, start time, and recurrence pattern. - Check for Conflicts
Make sure there are no conflicts with other schedules or maintenance windows that might have prevented the Thursday schedule from running. Conflicts can occur if multiple schedules overlap or if there are resource constraints. - Review Logs
Check the logs for any errors or warnings related to the Thursday schedule. Logs can provide valuable insights into what might have gone wrong. You can find logs in the Azure portal under the Update Manager section. - Verify VM Agent Status
Ensure that the VM agent on the servers is running and has the necessary permissions to execute the scheduled updates. The VM agent is responsible for communicating with Azure Update Manager and applying updates. - Check Update Manager Configuration
Ensure that the Update Manager configuration is set to "Customer Managed Schedules" and not "AutomaticByPlatform." This setting ensures that the updates are managed according to your specified schedules.
