Hello,
I'm going to enable updates not via WSUS but via Wapt on the Windows servers.
I'd like Wapt to install them on the scheduled Sunday afternoon reboot.
I can't find this option in the agent settings:
install_at_shutdown = True

version 2.6.1.17813

Hello,
The `install_at_shutdown` parameter is deprecated since version 2.6.0.16881 because it no longer functions with Windows 11 24H2.
However, it might be possible to use a scheduled task within a package:

I find that a bit strange.

Thanks, I'll create a scheduled task:
`wapt-get waptwua-install`
