For drivers or firmware that require reboots is the standard WUfB reboot UI going to be available? Will you be able to shutdown and restart without updating during a grace period?

    Yes, the standard WUFB reboot UI is used when a driver requires a reboot, and the Quality Update Deadline and the Grace Period settings also apply to that reboot. I'm not 100% sure, but if a reboot is required, I don't think the restart w/o updating options are available... I think that's only for Feature Updates.

    You can see in manual driver patching via WU UI that some drivers e.g. Many Intel drivers have their own restart notifications built-in, so this confuses end-users. End-user training is required.

      These should be reported to the driver publisher as a bug, since any update delivered via Windows Update should let WIndows Update manage the restarts.

    I think "grace period" is the point after the installation before a forced reboot right? If true, I would think the answer to your question would be no.
