Vista – Reboot required error message
I recently installed some updates that Vista had downloaded from Windows Update. After the updates were installed, I was asked to reboot my computer as expected. However, after the reboot when I signed in, I got a strange error/warning message that said “Reboot Required. A change occurred to your Windows license. You must restart your computer or Windows will stop working.”
I also remember Vista setting up personal settings upon login as is customary for new profiles when users first login. I thought this was pretty strange since my profile already existed on the computer. However even though it appeared that Vista was creating me a new profile, all my settings and files were untouched.
Anyways, I reboot the computer just like the warning/error message told me to and now things seem fine. Very Wierd.
