Unlike earlier versions, Windows 8.1 installs security updates automatically upon system shut down or restart when such updates are available. This may explain why it sometimes takes longer for computers to reboot following a JAWS update

Cc: Soronel Haetir Subject: Re: Installation of today's new JAWS release Hi, I've noticed lately that most reboots after installation take significantly longer than I would expect (even taking into account that reboot after install won't have the normal decreased boot time associated with win8.1). Given how simply turning off a booting system is one of the few remaining ways to mess up an operating system install I would suggest waiting much longer than five minutes before assuming that the reboot is hung. My jaws upgrade took close to that today and I've had a few MS updates take more than 20 minutes after reboot, but the point is that the system did eventually come around.
