windows 10 update ring notifications
Hello, I am trying to ensure users have a pop-up notification hours before windows reboots. In older update rings I see that there was two different types of notifications allowed to be set, perman...
That is the one I used, but the only message I seen was the icon in the notification area, there was no pop-up or toast message???
When I look under advanced in windows update the "notify me when restart is required to finish updates" is not enabled either.
I didn't see a message within the 1 hour window before the system restarted. Note I did not watch the computer the whole time.
Any idea what I might be missing?

There are some CSP for this. I think with this CSPs you can configure everything what you need:
-Allows the IT Admin to specify the period for autorestart reminder notifications.
Supported values are 15, 30, 60, 120, and 240 (minutes).
- Allows the IT Admin to specify the method by which the autorestart required notification is dismissed.
But you can do this also via reg keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
"RestartNotificationsAllowed2“
or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"SetAutoRestartNotificationDisable"
- ok great, finally found these by configuring a configuration profile in intune and using the settings catalog and searching.
I also wanted to confirm the setting in the registry but wasn't finding a good way to discover the registry key. Any thoughts on that?
For example the group-policy "Configure auto-restart required notification for updates" or CSP "Update/AutoRestartRequiredNotificationDismissal". Do you know a good way to find the registry key?
Local domain will have a pol file, but haven't found a good way to convert that to reg file...
I will check the two you mention above, but you may have found those online via article possibly? Sometimes I can't find them online.
Thx- Yes you can use the tool RegDiff. I have written an blog where I use this tool: https://jannikreinhard.com/2021/08/02/aligne-the-windows-11-taskbar-with-help-of-intune/
You can make an dump of the registry activate this setting and the create an new dump. Then you can compare both and you find the needed reg key/value.- Well I ended up looking for another tool and found Regsitry.Pol Reader by SDM Software. It was useful. However I noticed that the SCP settings don't match the registry location that a Group Policy would use, as it seams.
Now I guess the question is how to find the registry key from SCP Update policies? Or are they only in the location:Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current
Thx
