Group policy refreshes ever 90 minutes + random, right? If we have a PC sitting at a login screen, and GP recognizes that there is a new policy that requires the PC to be restarted, is it going to auto restart itself? Or does it wait to be rebooted on its own?

Will group policy auto reboot a pc that isn't logged in?

- Start date
It's not 90 minutes + random.
It's 90 minutes unless either manually updated, or during log-in/start-up.
And I have not seen group policy auto restart a computer unless you do a gpupdate /force and it says it needs to reboot and asks if you want to. If you say yes then it reboots.
But rebooting automatically is not behavior I have ever observed.
