Post a screenshot of your GPOs and/or the result page from gpresult /h gpo.htm
Something is conflicting. Mine works as advertised - Install every day at 4pm and reboot outside of active hours if needed. Mind you if they are still logged in it forces the reboot outside of active hours, which is what I want as people keep failing to
sign out or reboot every day.

Can you please provide me with a screenshot of your computer's AU reg keys?
Also GPO?

AdamJ,
Do you set a dealine on your windows 10 updates?
For example, today I approved the win10 1709 update for a PC.
The update did have a deadline on it (7 days after update was approved). My co-worker was working on his PC (He was in the middle of typing) and the PC went down for a reboot.
My thoughts are....
1) The deadline forced the reboot
2) He was typing and must have hit a key that told the win10 notification to reboot now?
I am not 100% sure.
The following reg key is set to "RestartNotificationsAllowed" (0).
I am thinking that I should possibly create a "win10 upgrade" group and just move machines into that group when we are ready to go to a new build. Also do not set a deadline as that will not force the reboot... (if the deadline is what caused this
behavior).
Please advise. Thanks
Deadlines are your issue.
I do not set deadlines. All my systems check for updates daily and will install daily too.
When I did set deadlines, I had random reboots in the middle of the day.
