Public bug reported:
After installing updates, the Update Notifier shows the “Restart
required” prompt. However, clicking the Restart button provided by
Update Notifier does not trigger any reboot sequence. The button simply
does nothing—no shutdown signal, no logout, and no transition into
reboot.
Regular system reboot via the system menu or using the reboot command works
normally.
The issue occurs only when attempting to reboot through the Update Notifier’s
post-update restart button.
