Currently some of the computers I support do not have the "“Show a reminder when the computer needs to be restarted” option enabled. By default, it appears that it is set to off .
Can you please create a script that enables both? I found the registry key for the first one “Show a reminder when the computer needs to be restarted” - “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings” the DWORD value is ‘RestartNotificationsAllowed’ which needs to be set to 1 for enabled.
Preethi, Thank you for the quick reply. The “Give me updates for other MS products when I update windows” works perfectly. However the “We’ll show a reminder when we’re going to restart. If you want to see more notifications about restarting, turn this on” is still off. This registry key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings” DWORD value RestartNotificationsAllowed never got set to 1. Any change that this could be updated?
@Preethi
Not need to apologize. What I found with the new script (thank you by the way) is that is shows “started” in the procedure log. I ran the command “REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings” /v RestartNotificationsAllowed /t REG_DWORD /d 1” from the command prompt and it asked me if I wanted to “overwrite”. Can you change the new “20180817-Show-a-remainder-to-a-restart-option.json” so that it tells the command prompt ‘yes’ to overwrite? Once I told it yes to overwrite it worked.
I am attaching what I am talking about.
