'''Problem'''\n\nImportant Windows updates often require a device restart. Unfortunately, many employees do not restart their devices as they might not know/care about the update, leading to potential compliance and performance issues. Although Microsoft might send reminders and notifications about necessary restarts, it is not always enough. \n\n'''Solution'''\n\nTrigger a restart process across any targeted groups of devices automatically identified as pending a restart due to a Windows update. The restart process then asks users permission for a restart, with the option to delay a maximum of 3 times, at which point, the restart will be enforced. \n\nThis workflow ensures a restart in deployed across devices that require it for Windows update reasons. This saves significant time for any support teams that manually reach out to employees to request a restart. \n\n'''Key features'''\n\n* Fully automated device restart process using Nexthink Flow. \n* Automate the retrieval of Windows boot information to take appropriate action based on results. \n* Ask users to restart now or delay by an hour or in 24h.\n* After three delays, the restart will be enforced to ensure the update takes place.
