[SOLVED] [Win7] updates keeps requiring reboots

[biff24]

Hello,

Windows updates keeps prompting me to reboot every time my computer boots. I've tried several windows update fixes like resetting the windows updating components but to no avail. I have ran reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /s >1.txt && notepad 1.txt and posted the output below. Thanks!

Re: Windows 7 updates keeps requiring reboots

Hi and :welcome: to Sysnative :wave:

Could you run this fix and restart your computer?:

SFCFix Fix
This fix is very specific for biff24's computer. Trying this fix on your own computer might damage your computer. If you are after assistance, create a new thread, and you will be assisted shortly.

Download SFCFix.exe (by niemiro) and move the executable on your Desktop.
Download the attached View attachment SFCFixScript.txt and move the archive to your Desktop
Note: Make sure that the file is named SFCFixScript.txt, do not rename it.
Save any work you have open, and close every programs
Drag the SFCFixScript.txt file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it

SFCFix will launch, let it complete
Once done, a file will appear on your Desktop, called SFCFix.txt
Open the file, then copy and paste its content in your next reply

Restart your computer and let me know if it still asks you to reboot your computer to finish installing updates
