Restart Required Loop

It's alright. Hopefully this thread will eventually help me track down the problem.

The notification went away on it's own. I have no idea what caused it to clear other than maybe it was cleared because I had 15 other notifications sitting in Action Center from another app I use for work.

Update: It appears that Windows Maintenance ran prior to the problem being fixed. Perhaps a disk cleanup removed the issue?

.....Try these steps to fix the restart required:
5) open control panel > troubleshooting > on left pane click view all > run the hardware and devices troubleshooter.....

I'm not normally a fan of re-opening old threads. But since I ran into this issue with audio software on a brand new Alienware PC, the thread is apparently still applicable to at least some degree. The troubleshooters in Control Panel fixed the issue for me. Thanks, zbook.

That's great.
You are welcome.
Glad to see the help from the old thread.
