Clients not auto-rebooting on specified schedule

For whatever reason our systems are not rebooting on the schedule following updates.  We've configured the following GPO's:
 
Computer Configuration\Admin Templates\Windows Components\Windows Updates\

     - Enabling Windows Update Power Management to automatically wake up the system to install scheduled updates - "Enabled"
     - Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours - "Enabled"
     - Always automatically restart at the scheduled time - "Enabled"
     - Configure Automatic Updates - "Enabled"
     - Specify intranet Microsoft update service location - "Enabled"
     - Automatic Updates detection frequency - "Enabled"
     - Allow non-admins to receive update notifications - "Enabled"
     - Turn on Software notifications - "Enabled"
     - Allow automatic updates immediate installation - "Enabled"
     - Turn on recommended updates via Automatic Updates - "Enabled"
     - Re-Prompt for restart with scheduled installations - "Enabled"
     - Allow signed updates from an intranet Microsoft update service location - "Enabled"

All of our client systems are running Windows 10 SHB on a closed loop network.  We use a WSUS server to manage updates, WSUS running on Windows server 2016.

Are your users normally logged in at the schedule time?

Hi,

you enabled 'Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours' but did you actually configure the time settings for this policy?

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.

It doesn't seem to matter did a test last night on a system with a user logged in and a system without a user logged in.  Yes we've got the active hours set from 4 AM - 7 PM
