What is the official policy when it comes to Windows updates of DMA?
We have WS2022 Standard on both DMAs of the failover pair. The OS updates are set to be manual so the administrator should check for them and install manually. But, is it safe to install them? Or a more detailed rules apply which updates (not) to install?

We tend to follow the policy of Windows on this matter(*), so in short keep your OS up to date.
Note that it's always good to be aware of the updates as there's always a small chance that it might cause an issue in dataminer or on the servers in general.
(*) This should be reflected in our HW requirements as well, if Windows doesn't support a certain OS anymore, then we don't either.
