Steps to reproduce:

Open NVDA Add-On Store, make no changes, close the dialog via either ALT + F4 or by clicking on the red close X at the upper left

Actual behavior:

Even when no add-on has been touched (as in none are re-enabled or disables), as soon as the dialog closes the standard NVDA dialog asking, "Changes were made to add-ons. You must restart NVDA for these changes to take effect. Would you like to restart now?"

Expected behavior:

The above mentioned dialog should never appear if no changes to Add-Ons have been made while it's open.
