To increase our security compliance, we've implemented forced reboots in our environment for software updates. For certain workstations, the manager wants to give them a 7 day window to reboot after the updates are installed. So I create the deployments with a 7 day deadline(the default). I then kick off a PS script that installs all pending updates. The reboot will then wait for the deadline(7days) and all is good right? Well turns out that since the inital "you need to reboot to finishing installing updates" notification is just a balloon notification in the lower right, a lot of people were not seeing that, or the green icon in the systems tray. If you right click on the green sys tray icon you get and option to open the restart window wich then gives you the option to restart now or snooze the reminder. I'd like it if this was the default notification instead of the balloon notification. I know this is not a native option so I've been looking for a way to open that restart window with a command line. Hoping that someone might have an answer for that.

I've already started to look into another forced reboot option with a 7 day timer using the cortech shutdown tool, but I'd like to keep everyone on the same notification style if possible.

I appreciate the time anyone takes to look at this.

Thanks.
