This is a legitimate notification from the Office of Computer Services. These updates will occur twice toward the start of every month and will require a reboot to complete.
For your workflow convenience, you may choose to delay the process for a limited time, but the updates are mandatory. if you have not already restarted your computer within 4 days, then the system will automatically do so on the following Monday.
Regardless of these scheduled updates, it is best practice to turn off your PC when not in use. Keeping your PC on for days at a time can prevent important updates as well as lead to slow performance.
