You should check with corresponding KB articles for the update, what fix include in it and which module it will touch. i.e check this KB

Now for SharePoint, we never enabled the automatic updates for windows but we plan it. Typically, we do the following things

  • Stop the SharePoint Timer and Admin services.
  • Unshceudle our Search Crawl
  • Stop the Profile Sync.
  • Stop the IIS

Now apply the updates and then start the service and test it. Yes we perform this in our qa farm 1st.

    it may, but as of now, we dont have any issue so far in 2013 or 2016. But testing is the key, you can catch more issue from there
