Should I restart my PC every time it gets updated?
Welcome to Ask Ubuntu
Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's built and run by you as part of the Stack Exchange network of Q&A sites. With your help, we're working together to build a library of detailed answers to every question about Ubuntu.
Please follow the Ubuntu Code of Conduct when participating within this community.
We're a little bit different from other sites. Here's how:
Ask questions, get answers, no distractions
This site is all about getting answers. It's not a discussion forum. There's no chit-chat.
Just questions...
...and answers.
up vote
Good answers are voted up and rise to the top.
The best answers show up first so that they are always easy to find.
accept
The person who asked can mark one answer as "accepted".
Accepting doesn't mean it's the best answer, it just means that it worked for the person who asked.

You dont 'have' to restart, but the only time you have to restart for changes to take effect are kernel upgrades and proprietary driver upgrades.

You only need to restart when the update manager tells you to. It will also be visible in the menu on the top right of your screen. The cog will be red and a red menu item will ask you to restart.

Get answers to practical, detailed questions
Focus on questions about an actual problem you have faced. Include details about what you have tried and exactly what you are trying to do.
Ask about...
- Using and administering Ubuntu, including official Ubuntu derivatives.
- Running third-party applications on Ubuntu.
- Development on Ubuntu.
- Services provided by Ubuntu
- Real problems or questions that you’ve encountered
Not all questions work well in our format. Avoid questions that are primarily opinion-based, or that are likely to generate discussion rather than answers.
Questions that need improvement may be closed until someone fixes them.
Don't ask about...
- Anything not directly related to Ubuntu, its community, or officially supported derivatives.
- Questions that are primarily opinion-based
- Questions with too many possible answers or would require an extremely long answer
Improve posts by editing or commenting
Our goal is to have the best answers to every question, so if you see questions or answers that can be improved, you can edit them.
Use edits to fix mistakes, improve formatting, or clarify the meaning of a post.

Actually, there are a few other updates that ask you to restart, although in some cases logging out might be sufficient. - Scott Severance Jan 8 '12 at 22:57
