Of course and indeed I HAD rebooted after each set of updates - the difference is
that if you power off and reboot then there is hardware resetting that is
different to rebooting but leaving the power on!

Today was the first time I shutdown AND powered off. Then started from cold.
This has a different effect to simply asking for a re-boot but leaving the power
running during the shutdown and subsequent re-boot.
