Critical Update downloads

[Guest]

After I download the Critical Updates, I notice it says "You will have to
restart your computer for the change to take effect." When I click on OK,
Microsoft shuts down my AOL and restarts my computer. Then I have to sign-on
to AOL again.
Is it necessary for Miscrosoft to shut down my computer, or is there any way
i can continue to continue working online?
I believe I saw another "button" that read: "Continue." If I clicked that,
would I be allowed to stay online?
I would prefer to remain online, rather than have MS shut down my computer
and disconnect me from AOL.
(I hope I have made my question understandable.)

You can continue to work online and the changes will NOT take effect until
you reboot....eventually

So, I do NOT have to have MS shut down and restart my computer after each
time Critical Updates are downloaded.
And I can simply click on the "CONTINUE" button and then I will be allowed
to continue working online (without shut-down)?

Thank you
