Hi,

Thanks for your question.

About this GPO: 

This policy setting allows you to control whether users receive notifications for auto restarts for update installations including reminder and warning notifications.
Enable this policy to turn off all auto restart notifications.
If you disable or do not configure this policy, the default notification behaviors will be unchanged.

I don't think you can use the gpo to enable it. I will suggest you to enable it by change the registry key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings

RestartNotificationsAllowed DWORD (before build 17704)
RestartNotificationsAllowed2 DWORD (build 17704 and later)

You can try to use command to change it.

 Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\" -Name "RestartNotificationsAllowd2" -Value 1

/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/set-itemproperty?view=powershell-6

Best regards,

Lee

Just do it.
