Hello,
Since the upgrade from version 2.5 to 2.6.0.16795, any software update or installation causes the machine to display the status "Waiting for reboot" (wuauserv_status/reboot_needed = true).
This happens with Windows 10 client machines as well as with Windows servers of all versions.
A simple Edge update is enough to put the machines in this reboot-waiting state. This was not the case with version 2.5.
It only "triggered" after installing a Windows update or software that required a reboot.
Server: Debian 12, Wapt Enterprise 2.6.0.16795.
Client: Windows 10
[RESOLVED] Since version 2.6, workstations are much more frequently showing "Waiting for restart"

Hello.
We've fixed a bug from previous versions.
The machine is considered to be waiting for a reboot because the following registry keys are active:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\UpdateExeVolatile and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations.
Therefore, the machine is waiting for a reboot. So yes, installing Edge causes a "waiting for reboot" message.

Using this example, yes, you can make your choice:
Code: Select all
reboot_required = registry_readstring(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, r'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update', 'RebootRequired', 0)
if reboot_required:
result.append('Windows Update: %s' % reboot_required)
reboot_pending = registry_readstring(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, r'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing', 'RebootPending', 0)
if reboot_pending:
result.append('CBS Updates: %s' % reboot_pending)
update_exe_volatile = reg_key_exists(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, r'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\UpdateExeVolatile')
if update_exe_volatile:
result.append('Update Exe Volatile: %s' % update_exe_volatile)
renames_pending = registry_readstring(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, r'SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager', 'PendingFileRenameOperations', None)
if renames_pending:
result.append('File renames: %s' % renames_pending)
