Is it required to run the sharepoint product configuration wizard if we install windows security updates

Question

We have sharepoint enterprise farm 2013, and yesterday our system admin patch the sharepoint application server, where they installed some windows security updates + updates for windows, as follow:-

so i ave the following questions:-

1. Should we run the sharepoint product configuration wizard? or since the updates do not contain sharepoint/office updates, then it is not required to run the sharepoint product configuration wizard?
2. if the answer to the fist question is that it is not required to run the SP product configuration wizard, then is there any harm of running it?

Thanks

Answer 1

If the windows update does not contains the SharePoint updates then no need to run the Configuration wizard.

their is no harm to run it if you want, but keep in mind it will cause an outage on the server where it is running so plan it.
