Restarting after updates is important because it allows Windows to properly complete the update process. Without a restart, some updates might not take effect, which can affect performance, security, or stability.
If you are the main user of more than one device (laptop/desktop computer), remember to check and restart each of them when needed.
Tips: Best practice for maintaining your device
- Restart your device on a regular basis.
- To ensure your device continues to perform efficiently, we recommend restarting it regularly—even when no updates have been installed.
