    Hi,

    Thanks for posting in Q&A platform.

    Or you could edit corresponded registry key to achieve this option.

    For Windows 10 1703 to 1803 inclusive

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings\RestartNotificationsAllowed

    For Windows 10 1809 and later

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings\RestartNotificationsAllowed2

    Value type: REG_DWORD
    Value data:

    0= Off
    1 = On

    Best Regards,
    Sunny
