In the previous post on seting an update date, I briefly mentioned an “update window”, but didn’t go into any detail.

The update window allows you to specify times when your system will not be in active use, such as overnight, to allow updates to be applied without disrupting your users.
Like the update date, the update window is set in the Dynamics BC Admin Center. When you access the admin center, you’ll see your environments listed; click the name of the one you want to set an update window for (you will need to repeat if you have multiple environments):
