On my main machine, a reboot was required by Macrium (pop-up) when the update finished; on my secondary (test) machine, no such thing happened. Anybody have any idea why two machines with the same version of W 11 Pro (1265) and the same previous version of MR would have different reboot needs?

No idea about the reason, but the same thing happened to me... (reboot requested on laptop not desktop)

That restarts Macrium after the update... we're talking about rebooting Windows.

I get the same, some machines need a Windows restart, other don't. It seems to depend on whether or not you have some Macrium services running, such as Macrium Image Guardian. If so, then some MR files are in use and can only be replaced at start up.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

I think it depends what features you have installed and what features have been updated. For me without Changed Disk Tracker and viBoot I didn't need a reboot..

Having said that, it is always good practice to reboot after upgrading or installing new software anyway, which I usually do.
