COMMENTS
First, I was thinking of network drivers update (VMware Net, as all virtual machines are in VMware infrastructure), which can cause a down of the network connection. But in the example provided (real use case), there was no kind of update: only Cumulative Update, Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, etc.
