Hi MikeSpec,
By default, it is greyed out. It requires pending restart to turn on. When you install an update and this update requires restarting machine to apply, this setting "Schedule a time" will be turned on automatically.

Hi Mike,
Only when you have update with restart pending, it's available. And it will pick up a time outside of the active hours.
If you want to schedule a restart time, you'd better to use group policy:
Manage device restarts after updates
/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-restart

The option is greyed-out even when there is a restart pending. A message comes up to say that there are updates pending, and it is still greyed-out! Go figure.

It's greyed out on two servers I manage, even when there are updates pending. The only way I can schedule an up to install outside of hours is to run a script. So, you should be right, but you're not. I get prompted to schedule a restart, and I check that there are indeed updates pending, but there is no way to schedule the restart, without using a powershell script.
