Which setting governs restarting after updates?

• A. Do Not Restart Automatically
• B. Restart Options
• C. Shadow Copies
• D. Automatically Restart Workstations Only

Answer: (B)

Restart behavior after updates is controlled by the Restart Options setting. This is the place where you define how the system handles a reboot that’s required to complete updates. It lets you choose automatic restart when updates require it, prompt the user before restarting, or schedule the restart for a convenient time. This setting determines the actual post-update reboot policy across devices, so admins can ensure updates finish properly without interrupting users at inopportune moments.

Shadow Copies is about preserving previous file versions and backups, not about reboot behavior. Automatically Restart Workstations Only restricts restart behavior to a subset of devices and doesn’t set the general post-update reboot policy. Do Not Restart Automatically represents a possible behavior within the Restart Options, but it’s not the overarching setting that governs how restarts are handled after updates.
