The Restart device action causes the device you choose to be restarted (within 5 minutes). The device owner isn't automatically notified of the restart, and they might lose work.
Supported platforms
Windows - Supported on Windows 8.1 and later
Note
Windows attempts to show the user a message with the following text: "Your device administrator has scheduled a reboot." The message is shown when the 5 minute restart counter is started. Restart of Windows devices immediately requires push notifications via Windows Notification Services (WNS).For more information on WNS, see Network Endpoint Requirements.
