Not strictly Windows, but is there an Intune configuration setting that turns this on? Currently I have to enable it via a powershell script because I can't find anything in Intune.

One thing to also share. I came across this if you hadn't already. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-wufb-csp-mdm#user-settings-for-notifications

I have spent today looking into this as we have had reports of users not getting notified of a pending update to then have auto restart deadline kick in days later with no notice. For the longest our Quality Update policy for WUfB is set as "Change notification update level = Turn off all notifications, excluding restart warnings". However our users are not being notified of a restart pending.
Im now looking if that setting under advanced should be turned ON in order for this to all work consistently.

Yeah, we battled this as well and found that what worked best for us was this:
1. leave the windows default notifications, including letting Windows determine active hours.2. Set a reasonably short grace period (we set 40 hours). During that period, users will see the update icon with a little bang on it on the taskbar.
3. after the grace period expires, users get notified that a mandatory update must be done. This allows them to wrap up their work.
It seems the best combo between being least intrusive and reasonably quick deployment.

We have used a proactive remediation for this.
I would appreciate for this be managed by a policy, seems logical. - EricMoeFeb 20, 2025
Microsoft
Check out the Update Notification Level policy setting in the Notifications CSP Update Policy CSP | Microsoft Learn

We do have that CSP set to 0 (the other values turn off notifications), but that doesn't seem to correspond with the setting in my post. The setting I'm look for in the UX corresponds to this registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings\RestartNotificationsAllowed2
