You can use Group Policy settings or mobile device management (MDM) to configure when devices running Windows 10 will restart after an update is installed. You can schedule update installation and set policies for restart, you can configure active hours for when restarts will not occur, or you can do both.
- Group Policy settings are under **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update**.
- MDM settings use the [Policy configuration service provider (CSP)](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn904962.aspx).

When you set the **Configure Automatic Updates** policy to **Auto download and schedule the install**, you also configure the day and time for installation or you specify that installation will occur during the automatic maintenance time (configured using **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Maintenance Scheduler**).

| Always automatically restart at the scheduled time | ![yes](images/checkmark.png) | Use this policy to configure a restart timer (between 15 and 180 minutes) that will start immediately after Windows Update installs important updates.
