nice thank you.

Do I need to specify the win_reboot module?

here is my playbook


---
- name: Install all critical and security updates
  hosts: all
  tasks:
    - name: Install windows updates
      win_updates:
        category_names:
        - CriticalUpdates
        - SecurityUpdates
        server_selection: windows_update
        state: downloaded
        log_path: c:\ansible_wu.txt
        register: update_result
        reboot: yes
        reboot_timeout: 60


also noticed that when installing windows update there is no progress bar 
or cant see the progress. is there a way to get that from ansible?
