You can still give users a 24-hour warning at a minimum, and only force a reboot for really critical issues.

It does... "Your PC will restart in 2 days to finish installing important updates". I believe it has been doing it since Windows 8. Of course you can always restart manually any time before then to apply the updates immediately. I think it's a good compromise.

I don't get that warning on my Windows 11 laptop. Instead it updates and reboots while the laptop lid is closed.
