When doing patching on windows servr 2012 you can choose which updates to download\install.

that is different for Windows Server 2016.

anyway, as you can see on the picture below, sometimes there are massive files to download, and these should be applied in several servers - for example the SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 2 Cumulative Update (CU) - shown below, will need to be applied in at least 3-4 servers.

How can I download it once, instead of downloading it again and again for each server? And then, obviously, use this downloaded file, in each relevant serve.

Is there a way to do this?

You can google the KB number and you'll find the direct download for that update. You can download it and run on as many machines as you wish.

You can also use WSUS Offline which will download all updates for a chosen OS and install what's missing.
