We use WSUS to update our Windows computers. We configure Windows 10 to install any approved updates at 2:00 AM. We configure Windows to automatically restart to complete the update install as long as nobody is logged into Windows at that time. If someone is logged in at 2:00 AM, then Windows will NOT restart and instead rely on the user to restart at a time of their choosing. If the user doesnt restart in seven days, Windows will auto-restart regardless of whether the user is logged in or not.
When i am reviewing WSUS to see which computers are not fully updated, i would like to be able to tell when Windows plans to restart the OS to complete updates. Is that possible? Is there a way to see when Windows is intending to restart to finish updates? and can i do that without having to actually sign on to the Windows computer? Can i check it remotely from the event viewer or registry? is there a setting/event log/WMI call that shows "Windows will restart on <date> and <time> to complete updates"?
