Windows 10 ignores WSUS GPO - No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations
Hi Guys!
I'm starting to get angry because of the Windows 10 update behavior, let me explain it.
We have a WSUS server, with a couple hundred of Windows 10 clients, a few computer groups, no auto approve for the updates, specific group policy settings to avoid auto restart for logged on users, and still everything is went to sh*t on
this week.
New cumulative update (KB4093112), new update for windows 10 (KB4099989), i tested these updates and i approved it to install, and some of the clients decided to restart during the night, but I set the following via group policy ages ago:
No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations Enabled
Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations Enabled
Wait the following period before prompting again with a scheduled restart (minutes): 1440
Configure Automatic Updates Enabled
Configure automatic updating: 4 - Auto download and schedule the install
The following settings are only required and applicable if 4 is selected.
Install during automatic maintenance Disabled
Scheduled install day: 0 - Every day
Scheduled install time: 03:00
What the heck just happened? There was a logged on user on the machines and these settings just worked fine until this week.
This is the log entry from one of the computers:
The process c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe (computername) has initiated the restart of computer computername on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Operating System: Service pack (Planned)
This is the official Microsoft documentation to disable auto restart for logged on users and now it’s not working or what?
