In what order should I install Windows Updates on a host server with 2 Hyper-V's?

I have a Windows Server 2016, which is also running 2 Hyper'-V's.

In logging into the host Server, it says Windows Updates need to be installed:

     Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus
     Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
     2019-05 Servicing Stack Update for Windows Server 2016
     Updates are ready to install
     Install Now
     ** A reboot of the host server is required after installing updates **


In logging into Hyper-V #1, it says Windows Updates need to be installed:

     Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus
     Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
     2019-05 Servicing Stack Update for Windows Server 2016
     Updates are ready to install
     Install Now
     ** A reboot of Hyper-V#1 is required after installing updates **

In logging into Hyper-V #2, it says Windows Updates need to be installed:

     Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus
     Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
     2019-05 Servicing Stack Update for Windows Server 2016
     Updates are ready to install
     Install Now
     ** A reboot of Hyper-V #2 is required after installing updates **

My question #1 is:  Is there a particular order in which I should install the updates (host server first, then Hyper-V #1, then Hyper V #2) or does it matter?
My question #2 is:  Shall I click "Install Now" simultaneously on all three, OR one at a time after the previous installtion is completed?
