How do I change the notification setting and restart behavior on Intune for Windows Update Ring policy?

Question

Hi,

I am managing personal laptops (non-domain) on Intune, and I created a Windows 10 Update ring for them. I want to ensure that users get an obvious notification that a restart is needed. This is my setup, but as you can see from the picture below, the settings are off.

Automatic update behavior
Auto install and restart at maintenance time
Active hours start
7 AM
Active hours end
5 PM
Restart checks
Allow
Option to pause Windows updates
Disable
Option to check for Windows updates
Enable
Require user approval to dismiss restart notification
Yes
Remind user prior to required auto-restart with dismissible reminder (hours)
4
Remind user prior to required auto-restart with permanent reminder (minutes)
30
Change notification update level
Use the default Windows Update notifications
Use deadline settings
Allow
Deadline for feature updates
5
Deadline for quality updates
2
Grace period
0
Auto reboot before deadline
No

Answer 1

Okay, finally the policy is in effect. However, I still see that notification is off. Is this expected?

• Will my users still get the notification before the laptop restarts?
• I have a 4-hour "Remind user prior to required auto-restart with dismissible reminder (hours)" with 7 AM to 5 AM Maintenance hours. What if the user turns on the laptop at 7 AM, will it reboot right away because 4 hours already passed?

Hello,

I am in the same boat as I am not getting any notifications. I can see the WUfB ring settings are deployed on the device and the updates also gets installed. However, instead of the toast I only get the small orange dot on the taskbar with two arrows in circle which basically tells you that you can restart your device and how long update will take the install when you hover over it.

I have the configuration set as follows:

My device have the following configuration:

I DO NOT get the toast notification after the update gets installed but I only have the following:

The toast that shows up is only when the Grace Period is breached and then a toast shows up that your device will be restarted.

I saw the post from @Mark Doughty regarding adding the reg to enable the and it gets enabled when I create the registry key.

My question is, will this trigger an extra toast notification right after the update gets installed because I am not getting toast after update gets installed.

Thank you in advance
