Lost Ability To Control Restarts After Win 10 Updates
As far as I can remember, I used to be able to set Windows 10 to "Ask" me to restart Windows (after an auto-update).
That ability seems to be gone following an update to Ver 1607 - Build 14393.187
Am I correct?
Is there a workaround or have I ceded even more control to Microsoft?

1607 has added more options. Look at the update options / restart options. Active hours is new.
There is no new "more aggressive" restart behavior in 1607.

I saw those restart options McKnife.
I had tried active hours but the "Custom Restart Time" screen is greyed out.
I definitely have fewer options.

Do you have updates pending? That may be why it is greyed out.

notify me to schedule a restartYes McKnife - That's the option I miss now (I like to be in control)
"Custom Restart Time" screen is only greyed out when there is no restart scheduled at the momentThat computes! Thanks.
Yes, as we have both said, you need updates to be pending. No updates will leave the option greyed out.
Go to Settings, Update, Restart Options and check the option for Restart time. You may need to have active updates pending to set this. You can also set available hours.
The last Roll Up (After the Anniversary Update) asked me on both machines when I wished to restart.
