Windows Update Keeps asking for Restart

[ayoung0987]

Hello Sysnative,

I've seen quite a few of the same issue that you guys have been able to help people with. Windows update just constantly says it needs a reboot to process an update but it never shows it "configuring windows" while rebooting and it never lets me check for new updates because it keeps needing this reboot.
Win 7 Pro - 64Bit in a domain environment.
I've run the windows update fix it tool. Says it fixed things but didnt fix my issue.
SFC /SCANNOW found no errors to fix.
I ran that SFCFix.exe from this site but it also says it doesnt find any errors.
I've attached the CBS.zip file here.

Hoping you can help me! Otherwise it's getting a re-image! Thank you for your time and assistance!

Not sure what the deal is but I cannot get the CBS.zip file uploaded. Tried FF, Chrome, IE and allowed pop ups. Just spins on uploading and nothing ever shows up..

Hi and welcome to Sysnative. As this machine is on a Domain I need to ask if your IT group should be handling this or if they are aware and OK with getting outside support.

BrianDrab, Thanks for the response I was actually just coming here to make note that we got it taken care of. I'm actually in the IT department but I was having a major brain fart that day haha. Basically killed the need for the "pending reboot" in the registry and now its finding updates and updating.
My Google-Fu was having tunnel vision. :)

Thanks again Sir!
