"Auto Download and schedule the install" - doesn't work?

[gshaw]

Just modified our GPO to schedule WSUS updates for Windows 10 (used to be set to install on shutdown for Windows 7 but that no longer works with 10)

 

The settings are based off some templates I've seen on here (and elsewhere), nothing too exotic but left a machine on last night, no updates installed.

Also just tried it again here manually changing the time to 15:59 and again nothing happens once clock ticks over to 16:00.

 

There's a thread on Spiceworks with exactly the same issue and no resolution, has something borked?

 

Edit: may be a false alarm, test machine has just kicked in 15 minutes later and started installing
