With Windows 10, version , administrators can specify the max active hours range users can set. This option gives you additional flexibility to leave some of the decision for active hours on the user's side, while making sure you allow enough time for updating.
The max range is calculated from active hours start time. After an update is installed, Windows 10 attempts automatic restart outside of active hours. If the restart does not succeed after seven days by default , the user will see a notification that restart is required.
You can use the Specify deadline before auto-restart for update installation policy to change the delay from seven days to any number of days between two and Administrators can override the default behavior for the auto-restart required notification.
By default, this notification will dismiss automatically. When configured to 2 - User Action , a user that gets this notification must manually dismiss it. You can also configure the period prior to an update that this notification will show up on. The default value is 15 minutes. Since users are not able to postpone a scheduled restart once the deadline has been reached, you can configure a warning reminder prior to the scheduled restart.
You can also configure a warning prior to the restart, to notify users once the restart is imminent and allow them to save their work. The warning reminder can be configured by Reminder hours and the warning prior to an imminent auto-restart can be configured by Warning mins. Engaged restart is the period of time when users are required to schedule a restart. Initially, Windows will auto-restart outside of working hours.

Thanks in advance. If you read the article in the second link in Brent's email, it identifies the option ' No auto-restart for schedule Automatic Updates installations' which will disable the automatic restart and as a result the user notification. Note that this does mean that the update will not be in effect until the user reboots.
I did read the articles from Brent - wording is everything. I don't have ' No auto-restart for schedule Automatic Updates installations'.
I have one with Logged on users - but it's enabled. These are my settings -. Had thought the " Delay Restart for scheduled installations " was what I was looking for but the time can only go to 30 minutes.
The setting No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations doesn't disable the prompt in spite of what the many articles on the web say. In fact, in the explanation for the setting it states:.
If the status is set to Enabled, Automatic Updates will not restart a computer automatically during a scheduled installation if a user is logged in to the computer.

The whole "Windows automatic updating is also disabled; you will neither be notified about nor will you receive critical updates from Windows Update" part seems to suggest that updated is being turned off, so to speak. Correct - the client computer will still contact the WSUS server for updates. MS sometimes isn't very clear.
