Question

If you have a business-critical software and information system inside of production phase and then you need to do some windows update.

My question is.
Would you do a windows update in the production phase or would you have a pre production phase and do some windows update and testing if you find any error or somehting similiar before doing it in the production phase?

I would be good if you have the possibility to also answer 'why'.

What is your opinion?
Think of it from a risk point of view: How bad would it be if an problem happens at customer side due to that change?
There is no absolute answer to this.

In this context, it would be severe because the company's daily work will be stopped.

Critical windows updates should be installed as soon as possible, and there is always a period in the day when people don't use the productions system and you can safely patch and restart if necessary (you may have to stay up in the middle of the night!).
