Install all patches via WSUS in one session

-

hello,

i have 2 questions deploying patches via wsus.

1. there way have patches deployed during 1 session?

as example, let's have au setup automatically download , install @ 11pm every night.  patches detected, downloaded , installed , good.  let's there other patches not detected until the new patches installed, not installed until next day @ 11pm.  there way have patches deployed in same window?  don't care if there multiple reboots, want patches deployed on same day.

2. there way schedule reboots (if required) specific time?  patches deployed @ 11pm want reboots (if needed) happen @ 2am.

thanks

1. there way have patches deployed during 1 session?

natural behavior of windows update, , has been since inception 14 years ago. there exceptions, of course, , associated exclusive updates available installation. these include operating system service packs, .net service packs, , occasional infrastructure update -- occur infrequently enough can managed, , ought not part of regular monthly security patch events anyway.
as example, let's have au setup automatically download , install @ 11pm every night.  patches detected, downloaded , installed , good.  let's there other patches not detected until new patches installed, not installed until next day @ 11pm.  there way have patches deployed in same window?
well, let's practical here -- can't install patches haven't been detected, , can't install patches aren't applicable -- , there cases in above scenarios occur. classic example upgrading internet explorer. if choose upgrade ie9 on system today; can absolutely promise there half dozen ie9 updates available tomorrow not available today -- , no, system cannot anticipate might or might not installed in order pre-download updates not yet needed.
2. there way schedule reboots (if required) specific time?
yes, scheduling installation specified time. reboot happens after completion of installations.
so patches deployed @ 11pm want reboots (if needed) happen @ 2am.
no. if want systems reboot @ 2am, schedule installation 2am. there 30 minute delay window can implement via policy, narrow down reboot event time 1:30am-2:00am scheduling 1am installation.
