Hello,
I'm also testing WAPT with WUA.
I have two issues:
- Some users don't restart their workstations often.
- I find that installing Windows updates when the workstation shuts down is a problem for impatient users; it's very slow.
By setting `install_at_shutdown=false`,
it seems to install the updates correctly.
Could this cause an unexpected restart of the machine?
If it doesn't have any side effects in that regard, it doesn't seem too bad.
However, is it possible to define a parameter to specify that installation should only occur between 4:00 AM and 7:30 AM?
Thank you,
Jacky

Hi Jacky
, Scheduling updates at a specific time requires a bit of work.
For example, you could create a scheduled task that runs the wapt-get waptwua relevanthttps://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-command ... ht=waptwua).
Be sure to disable automatic installations in the wapt-get.ini file (for example, by setting very high values for the install_scheduling and install_delay).
Otherwise, for reboots, it's the same principle as installing an update via WSUS or even manually: At the end, if a reboot is needed, the user is notified, but it doesn't reboot automatically (depending on the computer's settings, which may allow automatic restarts).

Hello,
to launch the installation during the day you can use install_scheduling:
and therefore set install_at_shutdown=False
https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-console ... wapt-agent
However, there is no time setting, but with a scheduled task as @t.heroult mentioned, it is possible.

Yes, the behavior seems perfect to me.
In my tests, I didn't see the computer restart unexpectedly, so it's perfect.
I also saw this mentioned in another thread, which could also meet my needs.

Thank you both.
