You must go to settings, click on update and security, then Advanced options, select notify to schedule restart.

Another one of the very common issue faced by windows 10 is that update stops working. It is because most of the people replace windows firewall utility with third party firewall application. However as firewall that comes with operating system is tied with update and when replaced with third party application result in stopping windows update.  Unfortunately, there is no around other then turning the firewall on.
