This feature allows administrators to apply security updates without requiring a full server reboot, significantly reducing downtime. While a quarterly cumulative update still necessitates a restart, hotpatching bypasses the need for monthly reboots typically associated with Microsoft&#8217;s security patches. The technology works by patching the in-memory code of running processes, a method also seen in Linux systems with tools like Ksplice.This extension is specifically for the Azure Edition and does not apply to on-premises Windows Server 2022 installations, aligning with Microsoft&#8217;s push towards its Azure cloud services. Hotpatching has also been introduced for Windows 11 enterprise clients and is now the default for Windows Autopatch.Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/security\/2026\/06\/29\/microsoft-keeps-windows-server-2022-hotpatching-alive-into-2027\/5263688\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Register<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As reported by The Register, Microsoft has announced an extension for its Windows Server 2022 hotpatching feature, continuing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":517350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[85,46,125],"class_list":["post-517349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=517349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/517350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=517349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=517349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=517349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
