Hi, We have some Windows Servers 2022 that we patch through WSUS and the install update settings and reboot are configured through GPO. When we have added a couple of Windows Server 2025 and they are patched the same way and with the same GPO settings, they receive the updates, install as expected but the reboot doesn't happen at the same time as the 2022 instead the reboot is scheduled a week later. Any way to modify this? If so how?

    The reboot behavior of a server should be configurable using GPO, and my understanding is that the behavior should be exactly the same between Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025. Maybe the latest domain group policy has not yet been sync'd (received) by the Windows Server 2025 servers...?

      Thanks for the answer, that is good to hear but I am a bit uncertain what synchronization you refer too? The synchronization between domain controllers after the GPO have been modified or something else?This behavior has been present since we added the 2025 servers in December, so for January, February, March and April it has been behaving like this.

        I was thinking about the GPO sync from the domain controller(s) to the workload servers using the gpupdate command on the workload server to pull down the latest GPO settings from the domain controller.
