There is more to do than that, you have already chose option 4 as above. &nbsp;You need to combine it with another policy.<br />

Why is it that when I create a GPO to perform automatic updates on a certain day of the week it doesn't reboot the computers? &nbsp;I have option 4 enabled. &nbsp;After checking a users computer, I still see that yellow shield icon indicating the updates have been downloaded, but still need to be installed. &nbsp;I want it to download, install, and reboot.<br />

Am I missing something?
