Hello,
Cloudbase-Init can only enable automatic updates if you set in the config file, in the DEFAULT section, the enableautomaticupdates to True:
[DEFAULT]
enableautomaticupdates
The functionality is the same to the one presented here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/875349/how-to-change-your-automatic-updates-settings-by-using-windows-securit
Windows updates are usually very disruptive and can break functionality or even make the system as a whole unstable, if not proper curated and tested beforehand. Although cloudbase-init does not implement this functionality, you can use LocalScriptsPlugin (and the 1003 exit code each time you are required to perform a reboot) with this project https://github.com/cloudbase/WindowsUpdateCLI to automatically install updates.
You can find an advanced usage of the WindowsUpdateCLI project here:

Thank you,
Adrian Vladu
