That is an MS Teams Room system in the conference room, it runs Windows IOT. Whoever manages those rooms should have set the working hours of the room so it didn’t apply this update during business hours. By default the system updates at 2 or 2:30 AM, I forget... so might be a weird MS bug or someone fudged up a config

Source - installed a lot of these a few years ago.

I've always set windows to update around late hours.

But once in a while, Microsoft ignores that and does updates anyways. Usually just a quick min or two. But it's still annoying.

Probably Windows default is just Pacific Time.

Oh god, Windows IoT is the real-time version used for robots in the medical industry or serious stuff. This is overkill.

Windows IoT can be configured into a soft-realtime (realtimey-wimey). Disabling audio is one of the steps, so I doubt it's rtos mode for teams.

IoTs target market is companies reselling an appliance that runs on windows. So a Teams Room appliance is a perfect use-case for IoT
