What it does

Specify the deadline before the PC will automatically restart to apply updates. The deadline can be set 2 to 14 days past the default restart date. The restart may happen inside active hours. If you disable or do not configure this policy, the PC will restart according to the default schedule. Enabling either of the following two policies will override the above policy: 1. No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations. 2. Always automatically restart at scheduled time.

What it writes

Registry key: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

These deployment candidates come from the ADMX template; they are separate from the native CSP mapping above.

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
