These deadline policies also offer an option to opt out of automatic restarts until a deadline is reached by presenting an "engaged restart experience" until the deadline passes. At that point, the device automatically schedules a restart regardless of active hours.
These notifications are what the user sees depending on the settings you choose, and what operating system version their device is running. Generally, the user notifications become more noticeable as the deadline approaches. The experience described is the default and assumes there's ample time for notifications before the [effective deadline](../wufb-compliancedeadlines.md) occurs. The description doesn't account for changes to the **Display options for update notifications** policy ([Update/NoUpdateNotificationsDuringActiveHours](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#noupdatenotificationsduringactivehours)) or other settings that would significantly change the experience.
# [Windows 11, version 23H2 and later](#tab/w11-23h2-notifications)
The following notifications are what the user sees on Windows 11, version 23H2 and later, depending on the settings chosen by the user and the IT administrator:
When **Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts** is set:
While restart is pending, before the deadline occurs, users receive a toast notification in the corner of their screen. The notification includes the deadline date, and options to either restart now, pick a time to restart, or restart tonight once active hours ends.
- If the user set [the option](../waas-wufb-csp-mdm.md#user-settings-for-notifications) **Settings** > **Windows Update** > **Advanced options** > **Notify me when a restart is required to finish updating** to **On**, they immediately receive the toast notification when the device enters a restart pending state for updates. Automatic restarts for updates are blocked for 24 hours after the initial notification to give these users time to prepare.
- If the user set **Notify me when a restart is required to finish updating** to **Off** (default), they receive a toast notification that a restart is required 24 hours after the device enters a restart pending state for updates.

Depending on settings both users and admins configure, toast notification may occur occasionally before the day of the deadline to remind the user of the update. During this time, if they're allowed, automatic restarts might be scheduled after active hours.
- If an automatic restart is scheduled or the user scheduled the restart, and the user is signed in at that time, they receive a notification 15 minutes before the scheduled time.

The notification contains the deadline time and options to restart now or acknowledge the notification" lightbox="../media/9091858-pre-deadline-restart-imminent.png":::
As the device approaches the deadline time, a notification displays in the middle of the screen that contains the deadline time and options to restart now or acknowledge the notification.

15 minutes before the deadline, a notification displays in the middle of the screen notifying the user that a restart is going to occur. Users can either confirm the restart, reschedule, or choose to restart now.

In cases where the deadline has passed, the user receives a notification that a restart is required. The only options a user can select is to restart now or confirm. The user has 15 minutes to select restart before the device is forced to restart.

In cases where the deadline has passed and the restart failed, the user receives a notification that a restart is required. If the device is plugged in, it will attempt to restart every 5 minutes until the device successfully restarts. The user has 5 minutes to restart before the device is forced to restart.

# [Windows 11, version 22H2 and earlier](#tab/w11-22h2-notifications)
The following notifications are what the user sees on Windows 11, version 22H2 and earlier, depending on the settings chosen by the user and the IT administrator:
When **Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts** is set:
For the first few days, the user receives a toast notification in the corner of their screen. The notification includes the deadline date, and options to either restart now, pick a time to restart, or restart tonight once active hours ends.
- If the device is Windows 11, version 22H2 and the user set [the option](../waas-wufb-csp-mdm.md#user-settings-for-notifications) **Settings** > **Windows Update** > **Advanced options** > **Notify me when a restart is required to finish updating** to **On**, they immediately receive the toast notification when the device enters a restart pending state for updates. Automatic restarts for updates are blocked for 24 hours after the initial notification to give these users time to prepare.
- If the device is Windows 11, version 22H2 and the user set **Notify me when a restart is required to finish updating** to **Off** (default), they receive a toast notification that a restart is required 24 hours after the device enters a reboot pending state for updates.

Depending on settings both users and admins configure, notifications display in the middle of the screen as the deadline gets closer.
- If there's still time for an automatic restart to occur after active hours, the dialog displays an option to let the device restart later along with options to restart now or to pick a time to schedule a restart.
- If there's not time for an automatic restart to occur after active hours, the dialog displays options to pick a time to schedule a restart, restart now, or remind the user later.
During this time before the deadline is reached, if they're allowed, automatic restarts might be scheduled after active hours. If an automatic restart is scheduled or the user scheduled the restart, and the user is signed in at that time, they receive a notification 15 minutes before the scheduled time.
