Update Patches through WSUS console

I approved all patches to be updated under my computer on thursday

I came today and found some patches installed and some not but the issue is
that my system is restarted (when i left my office my PC was locked)

so the question is that (if the patches is installed the system will reboot
automatically and if this assumption is true so how we can fix it (find away
to control the restart issue ( example : schadule it or when the user is log
off) as this is make us in risk

- another issu is that my PC was appeared in the console with An
exclamation point mark button yellow mark(!) know with (X) mak so what is the
meaning of this marks.

Hello AAM,

If the machine reboots or not depends on the configured WSUS policy. If you
mark the machine name you can see additional infos about the exclamation
mark or cross. Also the update in WSUS takes some time after patches are
installed.

That WSUS can work with imaged machines, if in use, follow this article:
