Thanks Garwin,
PFA the windows logs of the day the issue occurred.
Yes there were other servers too that were being patched but this issue
affected this server.
No Pre-Reboot or Post-Reboot option was selected.
The windows event logs registered the event as shown in the attached doc
file.
Thanks & Regards,

While I'm inclined to agree that deadlines might be involved, the more
practical case is that using Patch Manager's Update Management task would
not invoke those deadlines. The only plausible scenario in which that
could occur is if the approval-and-deadline had been created within the
time frame of the client's last successful detection (such that the client
did not yet know about the update approval or deadline) and the deadline
had expired by the time the installation task was launched.
The Update Management task would have forced the WUAgent to execute a
detection (to validate the requested update deployment) at which time it
would have discovered the update with the approval and now-expired
deadline, launch a download, install the update, and reboot.
Of course, whatever the case is, the WindowsUpdate.log will tell us
exactly what did happen.
