Issue with gpupdate, prompting to restart

In my Win2K8 Domain environment when executing gpupdate /force it gives this warning below along with asking to restart. Hasn't happening before. Start happening few months ago and bugging me. Also afraid some users can hit Y on restart. Happening when executing command on any server in the environment.
Please advice.

================================================
C:\>gpupdate /force
Updating Policy...

User Policy update has completed successfully.
Computer Policy update has completed successfully.

Certain User policies are enabled that can only run during logon.
Certain Computer policies are enabled that can only run during startup.

OK to Restart?. (Y/N)
