  • Microsoft MVP Nathan McNulty criticized on X on October 20 that Windows offers a restart while updates are still running.

  • An early restart can lengthen the wait and make another restart necessary.

  • Microsoft says the option is available because other updates requiring a restart may be running at the same time.

  • Microsoft is working on clearer notices and says users will be told about a needed restart only after installation is complete.
    • Thanks for the feedback. We’re working on an improvement to optimize the user experience for both scenarios (restart immediately because the desired feature is ready / don’t restart until everything is installed). In either case, we’ll only notify you about a restart after installation is complete. :)
    — Aria Hanson of Microsoft replied in the X thread discussing restarts while updates are still installing.
