Thanks

To configure active hours using Group Policy , go to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update and open the Turn off auto- restart for updates during active hours policy setting. When the policy is enabled, you can set the start and end times for active hours

Good day Bahareh,

Just to piggy back of the previous comment.

This can indeed be done, you could also look into pushing this from the Group Policy Scheduled Tasks Section. You would then Create a New GPO > Computer Configuration/Preferences/Control Panel Settings/Scheduled Tasks > Name it as you wish > Run as System/Domain Admin > Set the Triggers and Times (Be sure to add Action type (shutdown.exe -r -f -t 0) this will force a restart without Delay.

Lastly adjust targeting to the required machines/OU

Thank you!
