    After installing update with a scheduled reboot, the server rebooted immediately after the updates were installed, not at the scheduled time. The server was a Hyper-V host so it took down ALL the VMs. The option chosen (reboot at a specific time) was not followed. The WAC version used was the GA 1910.

    I found this issue is caused by incorrect time string in Install-WindowsUpdates.ps1 script.

    Example:
    in RootDrive:\User\LoggedInUser\AppData\Local\Install-WindowsUpdates.ps1

    Line 4:
    $restartTime = 'Tue Nov 19 2019 10:53:08 GMT+0800 (Hong Kong Standard Time)';

    Line 99:
    $waitTime = [decimal]::round(((Get-Date $restartTime) - (Get-Date)).TotalSeconds);

    Get-Date can't recognized $restartTime as a valid DateTime."
