Server reboots after Windows Update
I have 8 servers all running Windows 2016. I have 3 of the servers that will automatically reboot after the Windows Updates complete. The other 5 servers always show "waiting to restart outside of active hours", but they never restart after active hours. I have everything setup in Group Policy so not sure why 3 of the 8 servers reboot and the other 5 never reboot. Where can I look to see what is causing the discrepencies? Thank you for any help.

Server Restart - Active Hours
I have all my servers (Windows Server 2016, Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393) setup through GPO to run Windows Updates every Tuesday night and then restart outside of active hours (6am-6pm). However, the servers never restart on their own outside of active hours. They show the available updates and have the "Install Now" button. Then there is the message that the servers will restart outside of Active Hours, however, the servers never restart. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
