Hello, i've found this site while searching for a fix to my issue. I too am having an issue where Windows 7 asks for a reboot to complete installation, but rebooting does not fix the issue. i've done an sfc /scannow and that did not fix it. I have attached an export of the HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\windows update registry key. Thank you!!

Hello and welcome

Due to the precise nature of your corruption, you will receive help from a user named PeterJ. He's one of our senior trainees here who's in his final phrase of his studies and needs to gain some real world experience in specific areas of Windows Update. This means that he'll be assisting you, but that I will first need to double check and approve his fixes before he posts them to you. If anything this is a good thing for you because it means that you've got at least two of us watching over your thread, but it will unfortunately add a slight delay between each reply. I hope that you understand and can accept the need for us to train up new members in this way in order to carry on doing what we do here, however, if for any reason you object to this setup, I will happily take on your thread myself.

Thank you very much for your understanding. We'll be with you very shortly.

I rebooted and it no longer asks for a restart to complete updates (thank you!), however now when i click the check for updates button it just says checking and doesn't seem to complete. Also the "Most recent check for update"s & 'Updates were installed' dates show as "never"
 
Glad we could help you with this issue. Thanks for your feedback and the MS download link.
