I watched that tonight. But I was a little surprised that Windows 11 only 
rebooted once (that I know of, I wasn't there for the whole update). Of 
course, the restart took about ten minutes without any message at all, but 
I'm guessing it was finishing the update and decided that I was a "need to 
know" basis and obviously I didn't "need to know."

I found it's best not to try to hurry Windows when it's updating. It just 
gets grumpy and doesn't boot (and may corrupt itself).
