I was closing open windows and about to turn my computer off, when I noticed a windows saying that I needed to restart to save the changes, and giving me the option to restart now or later.

The problem is, I'm nearly positive I didn't make any changes. Is there a way for me to figure out what's going to change?

  • Do you have automatic updates enabled on your PC? Apr 12, 2012 at 8:12
  • @PeanutsMonkey, No, I have it set to check but not to update automatically. I had updated to MS Word 2010 yesterday, which had made the updates automatic, so I had changed it back. All this was yesterday though, and I've restarted at least three times since. Apr 12, 2012 at 8:16
  • Those messages sometimes come up after a driver install, did you connect some USB or similar device recently?

  • @Bob, Nothing new. My printer is normally plugged in, but was unplugged after I cleaned my computer recently. I did plug it back in today, but I've never before received that message upon doing it. Apr 12, 2012 at 8:19
  • Scan for malware just in case.

it might happen that you have turned-on automatic updates to download & install updates anytime when there are new updates available, after doing that the computer will prompt you to save all your work and restart your pc or restart later.

    No, I'm pretty sure it's not that because otherwise there would be the little alert symbol over the shutdown button on the start menu. Apr 12, 2012 at 8:17
