What does Error: 8504,0 mean?

All of the sudden my Norton 360 popped up and indicated it encountered an error 8504 and needed to perform some autofix and then my computer rebooted.  Then I went to the support article for this error, and it said that step 2 is that I needed to download and run the Norton Remove and Reinstall tool. Error: "8504,0" (norton.com)

The application appears to have fixed itself as I'm able to open the app with no issues, so I'm not sure I need to run this remove and reinstall tool.

Hi,

Step 2 would only need to be performed if Step 1 didn't resolve the issue, or if it continues again.
