Our full set of recommendations are included in the whitepaper at https://aka.ms/updatevelocity It will say Update Baseline, click the download button and download the .pdf file.
In specifiic:
We recommend the default auto update settings,
Leave the default for restart checks
Recommend a 7 day deadline for Feature Updates, 3 days for Quality Updates, and a 2 day Grace Period.
These settings are the most important and will provide a balance of update velocity while giving users control of when restarts happen for a few days, keeping them happier. You can fiddle with grace period a bit to give end users more or less time to manage the restart.
