Actually, no, elsalvoz is incorrect. I was thinking the same as him/her, but wasn't 100% sure, so before answering I tested it real quick. It looks like maintenance windows are ignored when an app fails to be found during the app deployment evaluation.
As you can see in the log excerpts below, the machine is in maintenance window and has 799 seconds left (~13 minutes) at 4:41PM Then I run the deployment eval cycle in line 2 Then it installs, discovers and completes enforcement between 4:44PM-4:45PM Surprising TBH 1.
