Microsoft has extended Windows Server 2022 Hotpatch support through October 2027, preserving monthly security updates without restarts for enrolled servers and reducing uptime disruption. The extension applies only to Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition systems enrolled in hotpatch updates. Servers outside that scope still need traditional restarts for some updates, including non-security updates and .NET patches.
