Strange Windows 8 update message

When I turned on my Windows 8 computer this morning (an HP) I was greeted with a message that was puzzling.  This was just before the log-in screen.

It read as follow:  &quot;Windows update:  Your PC will restart in 2 days to finish installing important updates.&quot;

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
