That’s the only way. Allowing any kind of discussion will delay the reboot indefinitely. There’s never a good time and someone will always be working. Announce maintenance ahead of time and then follow through.
Yep. I’ve gone as far as making a monthly maintenance window so they’re always ready to reboot at least once a month. I didn’t care if there was a patch or not. The users knew it was going to happen. No exceptions.
Train your users because they’re used to home where they can do whatever bullshit they want all the fucking time. I’m glad I’m past those days. These days I have a regular maintenance window for IaC and get to restart shit whenever I want because there’s a whole shit pile of redundancy. No fucking laptops.

The good time could be a bit later though, all else remaining the same
