You need to create the SFCFixScript.txt, copy/paste what I indicate in it and then drag-and-drop it on SFCFix.exe to run it.

Alright, restart your computer and let me know if the message is still there after.

marekkowalski90 · Sep 15, 2016

Windows is installing another updates after restarting. So something has changed. I'll let you know when it finish.

Aura · Sep 16, 2016

So, did it work? :)

marekkowalski90 · Sep 17, 2016

Yes it did. Windows update installed all updates and is no longer willing to restart. Thank you very much. Could you tell what was the cause?

Aura · Sep 17, 2016

Basically, a certain Registry key was set to ask for a restart since it thought there were updates to be installed.

marekkowalski90 · Sep 17, 2016

Okay. Thanky you for patience. I knew I could get help here :)

No problem marek, you're welcome :)
