When Windows installs a critical update, it sometimes needs to restart your PC to apply the changes. If you don't do it yourself, Windows will eventually force a restart on its own. While you can control Windows Update settings to avoid forced restarts, the built-in options only work within the active hours you set, and Windows doesn't always respect those either.
