    last night I had windows updates and it asked if I wanted to restart Now but I forgot about it so when I was shutting it down, the windows update was updating to 30%, The next day I started up my laptop and it then continued from 30% update but when it was completed 100% the laptop then restarted again.

    My question is can this damage the laptop when starting up for first time then restarting because of windows update. I'm a bit worried because the laptop is fairly new

    It's perfectly normal if Windows restarts when installing updates. Nothing to worry about.

    If you experience issues with Windows then you can always do a System Restore or as a last resort a clean install. But I don't see why you'd need to, there shouldn't be any problems caused by that completely normal behaviour. You should be fine :)

    No, as long as you ensure you shut down the system properly, you're fine. Now if you were to force shut down during update installation, then you could run into problems.
