Restart Windows 10 and 11 from MDE
Hi, I need to be able to restart some Windows 10 and 11 due to the application of updates. Is it possible to force a Windows restart from the MDE interface or by any query? Thanks
Do they report pending or they actually don’t restart?
Hi, they actually report pending restart. I'm not totally sure if the problem is that the machine did not restart (according to Defender) or if there's any other issue.
That's why I would like to be able to issue a restart, so then I could check if Defender already removed the tag "Pending Restart" and considers the vulnerability fixed.

dmarquesgn sorry, but can you share where are you seeing pending system reset in Defender so that I be certain what and where you are looking at? Also, as for the pending restart itself, if this is also reporting in Intune Windows update reports, then you can send a PS or proactive remediation script for a pending reboot and initiate a reboot. However, forcing a reboot on end user devices is not something I’ll recommend.
dmarquesgn . Was there a resolution to this issue. I have been having this issue since February/March 2023...Stephen
