Are .NET Core Runtime patches automatically applied via Microsoft Update?

The .NET (Standard) framework receives automatic updates via the Windows Update service. Does .NET Core Runtime have the same/similar functionality? If I install a .NET Core Runtime and .NET Core application on a server should I be the one taking care to apply the latest minor patch?

My question is primarily focused on potential security issues which are then remedied by subsequent minor version update.

On Windows, the currently supported versions of .NET 5, .NET Core 3.x and .NET Core 2.x can now receive automatic updates. See the .NET Blog post announcing this for more information.

It is in an opt-in service, so on a client OS you would need to enable Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows.

Advanced options - receive updates for other MS products.

On server OS the updates are managed via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). See the section for IT administrators on the MS blog for detailed instructions.
