[Feature Request]: Handling winget upgrade reboots aka exit code 3010

[RNalivaika]

The request

Some software installs and upgrades (for example "Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x86") exit with code 3010. That means reboot required to complete installation.
I would like some options in handling that. For example, define x number of days before reboot is forced, pop up to inform the user about pending reboot and give opportunity to reboot now or snooze for x number of minutes.

Hey,

Ideas:
Toast Notification about 3010 - could be done
triggering actual reboot from within WAU - definitely not

IMHO this would be going too far.
Keep in mind that WAU is used in SOHO and enterprise scenarios.
It is up to the user (or administrator) to decide when such action should occur (preferably within a maintenance window if such a thing is defined).

I do not think that this is possible, since we cannot fetch the Exit Code with Powershell. Winget only displays it as text with the information from above.
But I think Andrew is right. Using it in a company makes handling return codes "easy", in a private scenario I do not think we need such feature.

Well. You do not need to tap into exit code from a single upgrade action performed by winget during WAU cycle.
The machine will manifest its own 'RebootRequired' state nonetheless.
There are several places in which such info/flags must be checked:

• Registry: PendingFileRenameOperations
• Registry: WindowsUpdate\Auto Update
• Registry: Component-Based Servicing
• WMI: CCM_ClientUtilities (System Center Configuration Manager clients only)

Most of that can be checked via https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate/blob/e31afa874900d581003fa3c15bbda71dc20d3f6b/Sources/Winget-AutoUpdate/functions/Test-PendingReboot.ps1
