"reboot Required" Excludes Hard Restart

Other security programs occasionally require a reboot to install a major revision, but it doesn't matter whether you restart the system or shut it down completely. Bitdefender is unusual in requiring only the former. If I turn off my computer completely and start it the next day (when it needs to finish updating), it still nags me to do a restart. Why?
