Hi RAHULNATH,
The patch policy as configured will not send a notification to the endpoint for a restart action. It will also not issue a restart to the endpoint after patching.
I think we are seeing a UI bug, where this would only send a message for an install of updates despite the label of the notification.
Patch policies only issue restart notifications with ‘Enable Automatic Restart after updates are installed’ is selected.
Can you delete this policy and recreate it with the same settings? It will ultimately look like this:
To resolve this issue, what settings need to be configured in the Automox console to allow users to receive notifications where they can choose between "Restart Now" or deferral options?
Please provide a step-by-step process to enable these settings. If possible, share a screenshot of the settings as well.

Set the policy to ‘enable automatic restart after updates are installed’
There are 2 notifications types, ‘Install notifications’ and ‘Restart notifications’. Turn the restart notifications on:

Did the patch policy install an update requiring a restart? Restarts are conditional based on what the policy actually installed. If the update did not require a restart then the end-user will not see a restart required message.
Hi Rahulnath,
Please open a case by emailing support@automox.com. We will need to know the device name/policy name to troubleshoot further.
