WSUS: No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Updates installation

I am currently implementing WSUS in my domain, and up until this point I have
had no problems.

Where I am having an issue is with suppressing the reboot for client
workstations. I have set the GPO parameter to "No auto-restart for scheduled
Automatic Updates installations", but the client PC are still rebooting after
a 5 minute count down. I have ensured that "Delay Restart for scheduled
installations" is not configured, yet the count down still continues as if
the no restart parameter has not been configured.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

This is by design. "No auto-restart" means count down timer (not
enabling it would be a reboot without any warning at all).

It is not possible to suppress the Automatic Updates reboot dialog box.
