## Periodic assessment
2020

21-
Periodic assessment is an update setting on a machine that allows you to enable automatic periodic checking of updates by Update Manager (preview). We recommend that you enable this property on your machines as it allows Update Manager (preview) to fetch latest updates for your machines every 24 hours and enables you to view the latest compliance status of your machines. You can enable this setting using update settings flow as detailed [here](manage-update-settings.md#configure-settings-on-single-vm) or enable it at scale by using [Policy](periodic-assessment-at-scale.md).

- **Azure Managed - Safe Deployment**—for a group of virtual machines undergoing an update, the Azure platform will orchestrate updates. (not applicable for Arc-enabled server). The VM is set to [automatic VM guest patching](../virtual-machines/automatic-vm-guest-patching.md).(i.e), the patch mode is **AutomaticByPlatform**. There are different implications depending on whether customer schedule is attached to it or not. For more information, see the [user scenarios](prerequsite-for-schedule-patching.md#user-scenarios).

- Available *Critical* and *Security* patches are downloaded and applied automatically on the Azure VM using [automatic VM guest patching](../virtual-machines/automatic-vm-guest-patching.md). This process kicks off automatically every month when new patches are released. Patch assessment and installation are automatic, and the process includes rebooting the VM as required.
