We have not really anything in our files which would trigger a restart. However, the new builds all include the updated Visual Studio 2019 runtime.
If that gets updated and triggers a restart, which I think could be your case, it is beyond our control and we would not get a chance to issue a warning.
That is in a Microsoft created MSI. We'll see what we can find out though.

Here is the vc_runtime log which seems to be forcing the restart:

Yes - I know that I just wanted you to be aware that it can happen if anything has the VS or VC files loaded. It is annoying that the system just jumps to light blue screen that says restarting. My edits were lost and I had to start over. For me this can happen because I do development and, at time, things go wrong. Others may be upset so beware. It happens.

I wonder if you can add "NORESTART" to the MSI launch, check the log and tell user to restart.

Again - not critical just information.
