Yesterday, I got the following message:

I saved what I was doing, rebooted and had the updates installed only
to find myself getting the same message today.  Why?  What is the
point of hibernate if Windows is going to start requiring you reboot
your computer every day?

I'd just assume not disable automatic updates, but this having to
reboot every day business is ridiculous.

You didn't reboot - you 'hibernated.' Hibernate is no where near the same
thing as a re-boot.

No... I definitely shut down. I even saw the "Update 1/x is being
installed" screen as my laptop was shutting down. I just saw it two
days in a row.

Maybe one update required another to be installed and the one that was
required, itself, required a reboot, but, regardless, it was a little
annoying, none-the-less.
