Users can set a preference for notifications about pending restarts for updates under **Settings** > **Windows Update** > **Advanced options** > **Notify me when a restart is required to finish updating**. This setting is end-user controlled and not controlled or configurable by IT administrators.
Users have the following options for the **Notify me when a restart is required to finish updating** setting:
- **Off** (default): Once the device enters a pending reboot state after installing updates, restart notifications are suppressed for 24 hours. Typically, users receive fewer notifications about upcoming restarts while the deadline is approaching.
- **Off** (default): Once the device enters a pending reboot state for updates, restart notifications are suppressed for 24 hours. Typically, users receive fewer notifications about upcoming restarts while the deadline is approaching.
- When the deadline is set for 1 day, users only receive a notification 4 hours before the deadline and a final nondismissable notification 15 minutes before a forced restart.
- **On**: Users are immediately notified when the device enters a reboot pending state after installing updates. Automatic reboots for updates are blocked for 24 hours after the initial notification to give these users time to prepare for a restart. This setting is recommended for users who want to be notified about upcoming restarts.
