    @ironfist, is 5pm inconvenient? Do you want it to reboot at some other time?

    If windows needs to reboot after installing an update it says it will do so 'outside active hours'. But you need to tell it what your 'active hours' are. Go to Settings > Update & security > Change active hours. You can set your active hours start/finish times here, for a period of anything up to 12 hours.

    ""Windows says it is scheduled to reboot outside of general hours
    It reboots shortly before 5pm."

    You are getting it because a Cumulative Update was issued this afternoon. Either let it reboot itself outside of hours or click the notification in Action Center and click Restart Now to complete installation.

    Settings > Update & security > Restart Options

    You can postpone the restart for 7 days using custom restart time.
