What it does

If you enable this policy, the PC will not automatically restart after updates during active hours. The PC will attempt to restart outside of active hours. Note that the PC must restart for certain updates to take effect. If you disable or do not configure this policy and have no other reboot group policies, the user selected active hours will be in effect. If any of the following two policies are enabled, this policy has no effect: 1. No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations. 2. Always automatically restart at scheduled time. Note that the default max active hours range is 18 hours from the active hours start time unless otherwise configured via the Specify active hours range for auto-restarts policy.

What it writes

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
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.
