THE REASON SOME SOFTWARES NEED TO RESTART DURING INSTALLATION

The primary reason software installation and updates require a system restart is that some of the files that are being updated are currently being used by a running application or service. Restart Manager enables all but the critical applications and services to be shut down and restarted . This frees the files that are in use and allows installation operations to complete.
