I did leave processes running when I did the update; good guess, but nope I did 
not skip the restart.  I choose the continue option and whenever I got the 
restart message, I did a restart.  I believe I have the latest setup as well, 
but am going to get a new one just in case.  Hopefully this won't happen in 
future.
