Changing 'runlevel' Via Putty Terminates Session

I recently updated my system on 8/23/19 with over 700 updates. Since then, when I have a Putty session open and change the systems run level (mostly from 5 to 3 and 3 to 5). It will change the run level and also terminates/kills the Putty session I had opened. I can have multiple sessions open to the same server and they will all be terminated. I have tried changing the run level from both a Putty session and the GUI console itself. Both scenarios will terminate any Putty session open.

I have reviewed the /var/logs and nothing is mentioned about SSH sessions being terminated. I don't know where else to look at this point.
