[SOLVED] Windows update prompts for reboot in a infinite loop trying to install updates.

triscint · Jan 9, 2017

For context this problem started after our facility implemented a WSUS server. Since then a few computers infinitely prompt the user to reboot to install important updates. The following log is from one of the effected computers.

SFCFix log: SFCFix version 3.0.0.0 by niemiro.
Start time: 2017-01-09 09:32:56.238
Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1 - amd64
Not using a script file.

AutoAnalysis::

SFCFix version 3.0.0.0 by niemiro has completed.

Finish time: 2017-01-09 09:40:39.963

For some reason the uploading tool did not work for me so here is a google drive link with the cbs log

Thanks any and all for the help!:wave:

Hi and welcome to Sysnative. Please do the following.

1. Click your start button and type cmd in the search box.
2. Right-click on cmd that comes up in the search results and select Run as administrator. Answer Yes to the UAC prompt if it appears.
3. Copy/Paste the following into the command-prompt window and hit enter.
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /s >1.txt && notepad 1.txt

4. Notepad will open showing the WU info. Can you copy and paste this into your next reply?

Please do the following.

Step#1 - SFCFix Script

Download SFCFix.exe (by niemiro) and save this to your Desktop. If you still have this on your desktop from downloading previously, you don't need to re-download.
Download the file below, SFCScript.txt, and save this to your Desktop.
Save any open documents and close all open windows.
On your Desktop, you should see two files: SFCFix.exe and SFCScript.txt.
Drag the file SFCScript.txt onto the file SFCFix.exe and release it.
SFCFix will now process the script.
Upon completion, a file should be created on your Desktop: SFCFix.txt.
Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of this file into your next post for me to analyse please
