Questions in reguards to "Restarts"
After looking thru the forum I felt my post wanted to be more of a security issue.
I would like to ask these questions in regards to "Restarts" after a windows update.
After some updates are installed, our machines sometimes require a restart.
What would be the recommended procedure for restarts after updates, if any ?
The windows installer program asks if you want to "Restart Now" or later.
Do you postpone the suggested restart or use this installers "Restart Now" button ?
If you choose to restart later, do you use the update installer program to initiate
the restart or do you use the - Start buttons; Log off, restart or shut down ?
What is the best practices to follow when shutting down pertaining to updates ?
My reason for asking is based on the many times I have been told that;
"A Restart is not the same as a Shutdown and then do a Restart".
"It's all about the power button" I am told. When they say, "Restart",
dose this mean, "Turn it off" and "Hit the power button" to turn it back on?
As I search for ways to improve the dependability of my pc regarding the "On" button,
I cant help but think that if there is a recommended procedure and not being followed,
how it could/can effect the "Start-up" & "Boot-time" of the users pc for evermore.
Also; At present I am currently running one operating system on the drive.
Soon to change, I seek knowledge for any recommended "Update Restart" procedures
for a; "Multiple Operating systems" on a single drive situation.
I do hope any content added to this thread be of valve to many.
Thank you and reminding all - I am, the Novice Boy.

...I ended up having to do a system restore in Vista to get out of it; then I had to re-install the updates. Seeing that you're new to all this like me; the one piece of advice I would give is; pay attention to what you're doing all the time.
