Windows 11 frequently prompts to restart the computer during startup.

When booting up, the computer frequently prompts “Restart required” (despite no prior updates or other operations). After performing a forced shutdown and restarting, the system boots normally. This issue has recurred twice with identical symptoms. Please identify the root cause and provide a permanent solution.

    The recurring "Restart required" prompt during boot, even without recent updates or visible changes, can be caused by several underlying issues. Common causes include incomplete or pending Windows updates, driver conflicts, corrupted system files, or background processes that trigger the restart prompt.
