With **Never reboot**, the server shows **reboot required** instead.
## What happens during a window
- Servers start patching as the window opens, up to the concurrency limit.
- A server whose agent is offline is retried until the window closes.
- Nothing new starts after the window closes. Servers already patching are
allowed to finish.
- A server whose agent is offline is retried while the window is open.
- No server starts patching in the last 15 minutes of a window. Servers still
waiting then are marked when the window closes.
- Servers already patching are allowed to finish, even past the window end
(up to 2 hours from when each started). Interrupting a package manager is
worse than letting it finish late.
- A reboot only happens if at least 5 minutes of the window remain.
- A policy whose previous run is still going skips the window, and says so on
the policy.
