I tried that. Disable just makes it use the older method instead of the restart manager. In practical terms, it's just a different dialog box if you don't use the /quiet option, and no difference in behavior if you do.
I'm going to try actually having the restart manager restart them and see how disruptive that is,but it wouldn't surprise me if the default quiet behavior is to not restart.
