WUfB enabled with Update Baseline, No Notifications
Thanks Kay_Toma. Our biggest question is around the behavior as computers near our deadline. We want to communicate to our end-users what the notifications they will be seeing are going to look like before broad deployment, and I see a few examples in the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/wufb-compliancedeadlines. For feature updates are users to expect a notification like the one below, or does this only occur for pending quality updates or for feature updates as well?
We have yet to catch one of these in-action, but want to make sure that our polices are configured to display notifications like these in addition to the toast notifications that we have been seeing post-install and after login. Are there registry keys we can check or scheduled tasks for these pop-ups to make sure they are being utilized?
Thanks again for your help!
- Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts (Enabled)
- Display options for update notifications (Enabled - set to 0 AKA default)

Fantastic Kay_Toma! I also wanted to run a scenario by you in case I am misunderstanding deadlines. By configuring deadlines and not "Restart outside of active hours" as we had traditionally, are devices that do not have any users signed in going to restart after hours as they previously had? From what I am grasping now, it seems like those devices will wait until the deadline then restart during active hours, is that correct or does the previous behavior still apply? This is assuming we are not setting active hours, we will let the default values apply (8 - 5 and intelligent active hours when possible).
