FWIW, I let today's Windows Updates download and clicked "restart now". PC seemed to do its thing and rebooted to the desktop normally.
A few min later I got reminder that PC needed to restart to install updates. Assumed that was a leftover notice, but clicked "restart now", and it restarted and installed some additional update(s). And then a 3rd notice to restart, and another update(s) got installed.
Why didn't it automatically install all of them the first time, rebooting itself automatically in between, as needed, like it usually does..?

Ron,
Just speculation here... sometimes, it could happen that multiple updates were downloaded together, but which must be installed consecutively (i.e., one may be prerequisite for the other). If so, Windows will install the one first, reboot, and then proceed to install the next one in line.
Personally, I noticed yesterday (for I believe the first time), Windows prompted me that I needed to reboot after it installed the .Dot-net update... WHILE it was installing the Windows monthly sequential update! I did not believe that I should risk interrupting the latter... so I waited until it was completed as well, before rebooting.

@ky331 - Yes, that's what I'd expect: install one, automatically reboot and immediately start installing the next one in line, without going to the desktop where it seemed to be running normally, but waiting for me to manually restart again to install the next one, and then back to the desktop to wait for me to restart for the 3rd one...
I checked Windows Update history afterwards and it said all 3 were successful.
BUT, I just opened Windows Reliability Monitor. and for yesterday, it says:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800704C7: 2021-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 20H2 for x64-based Systems (KB4601319).
So that may explain why I had that unexpected behavior. At least this update apparently got installed correctly, eventually...
