Restart required

A computer restart is required after upgrading the ESET Endpoint Security to a new version or applying patches to applications via Vulnerability & Patch management. New versions of ESET Endpoint Security are issued to implement improvements or fix issues that automatic updates of program modules cannot resolve.

Click Restart now to restart your computer. If you plan to restart your computer later, click Remind me later. Later, you can restart your computer manually from the Protection status screen in the main program window.
