We are seeing that devices, synced after this releases, are getting the Restart needed alert. This is due to updates in Policies and some bug fixes.
Recently, we updated Restart needed alert so that it disappears automatically when a device is restarted manually after working hours for example so it will fix automatically over time.

I am sorry for the inconveniences with this unwanted alert.
