When installing something and the software doesn't ask for a reboot during installation, do I really need to reboot the computer? For me it's an old habit because so many people say that problems can occur if you don't reboot after installing something.
One would like to think that later versions of Windows, especially Windows 8, can handle software installs without a reboot. Yet it's always adviced. Can someone give me a technical explanation as to why I have to, or don't have to reboot my computer after I've installed something?
