Reset Reboot

Removes the pending reboot flag from Windows, so that following steps are not blocked by a reboot request.

Reset Reboot

After an installation, Autodesk products set the Windows flag RebootRequired. As long as this flag exists, a subsequent installer may refuse to start because Windows reports a pending reboot. Reset Reboot deletes this registry key, so the next step can run without restarting the computer first:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RebootRequired

The command runs with administrative rights. If the key does not exist, nothing is deleted and the step is marked as successful.

info

Reset Reboot does not restart the computer. It only removes the reboot request.
