Don't know if this is a bug or intended action... If the System Preferences>Security & Privacy>General Allow button is not checked and the Restart is selected from the popup (instead of the Restart after the Allow button is selected), the Restart has to be done again, since the Allow button remains unchecked. Is there a way around this dual restart? Has it always been thus? I usually go into Systems Preferences and do the restart from that notification. Maybe the bug should be titled, "dual notifications."
Macbook Pro 16" Retina XDR, 2024 M4 Pro internal 2TB storage, 36GB RAM, MacOS 15.6.1 Sequoia, running v8.0 SoftRAID software; Local RAID drives/enclosures: 4M2 OWC Enclosure with 6TB NMe, RAID4 Storage; two external OWC T3 enclosures (2.5TB online storage) populated with JBOD 6x500GB, EVO SSD, RAID 4 array disks/partitions; Local Backup: 2TB.
Its the simplest solution we could come up with, we have no control over the System Preferences option, and no way to check if you enabled it. Maybe down the road.
