Driver asking for reboot

[dEdL1eGe]

So, I just installed latest graphics driver and it said "Reboot Required" instead of usual "Reboot Recommend", I am wondering why because last time it showed that "Reboot Required" there was some problem with the driver which was causing certain games to crash and now it showed it again.

Can anyone tell why?

What graphics are we talking about?  Provide your processor model number and OS.

I'm talking about Intel Iris and Arc graphics driver.

I have i5-11400H (laptop) and Windows 11

Yes driver was 31.0.101.5084/31.0.101.5122. I guess I directly jumped from v30 to v31 so it asked but it was for second time before that when it asked for same my pc was crashing. 

For now it there is not any major issue so lets see if it cause any issue in future.
