In fact it may *deter* people from restarting as they may see "completing updates..." as a warning that that is happening in the background. I think differentiating from the "Restart" action is important (as the action doesn't change, we are just adding additional information). So perhaps "Restart (to complete updates)" or my previous suggestion: "Restart (recommended)" Luke.
