There are numerous group policies that control the behavior of Windows Update, but consumer versions both work in the same way, an update is installed typically either when you schedule it to happen or you manually restart the machine. How long you can go between when the updates are pending to the actual restart depends on the edition of Windows you have. If you want an update to be installed, immediately after it's installed, it's going to require to use WSUS and those group policies. Since I don't know how to do that specifically I will refrain from submitting an answer.– RamhoundCommented May 4, 2018 at 18:07

2I recall that events are written to the Event Logs by WU. If there's one that indicates all pending updates have been installed...or that there's pending reboot...a script could easily monitor for this and kick off the required restart.– I say Reinstate MonicaCommented May 14, 2018 at 22:32

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
