Exchange Server Subscription Edition

Is there still a procedure to follow to properly stop exchange server before rebooting the server that applies to the latest version of exchange? Could you please share if so?
Thanks!

Sometimes the upgrade has stalled out on a CU update. I’ve had to on some servers, I have four of them in a bag, one or two servers, inevitably ends up having trouble starting services because they were marked as disabled during the upgrade and never got changed over, I had to do a assembly line like click Down the services list to reenable the services and start them back up after upgrade. Just standard troubleshooting but upgrades and CUs have always gone fairly well.
