How to hide 'restart to install windows 10 updates' popup

Question

Hi,

I have several computers in a network that I've set to auto-update at certain times (out of business hours). I've turned notifications off but I still get a popup during business hours asking me to complete updates that I need to hide. Is there any way to hide this popup and just have the updates complete at the time I've told them to?

I've attached an imagine of a similar looking popup.

Hello,

Press Win+S to open search bar, type advanced windows update options and open the setting:

Under the Update options section, turn off the Restart this device as soon as possible when a restart is required to install an update toggle switch.

If it is domain environment, please check these applied domain policies.

Open Group Policy Editor and go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update.
