Suppress Display Notifications - Not working

[shawn.pederson]

I want the updates to run automatically without any user interaction required. However my deployment appears to ask the user if they want to install them i.e. Express/Custom (see prompt2.jpg).

 

Side question, I am assuming the maintenance window should prevent the updates from installing as well as the reboots. However that doesn’t appear to be the case either.

 

I am probably missing something simple, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Is this one ticked under the Software Updates Client Agent Properties:

I've noticed problems with this unless Automatic Updates are disabled on computers. This can be easily done with a GPO and going to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Updates and setting Configure Automatic Updates to Disabled.

 

Try play around with those two and see how you go.

That is awesome, thanks! I will try it and respond back.

Yep that did it. I think my maintenance windows where conflicting or not set properly, thus the reboot at strange times. Also, my workstations were set to scan for updates at 5PM. I adjusted this. Site Management > Primary Site (Whatever you called it) Site Settings >Client Agents > Software Updates Client Agent > General tab.
