[Win7SP1Pro x64] WU keeps asking to restart for updates

aredpanda · Apr 6, 2017

Hello guys, first time poster here.

I have a small VAIO notebook running Win7 Pro SP1 x64 and the bloody thing keeps asking to restart to finish installing updates. I've ran the Troubleshooter several times and while it keeps reporting and supposedly fixing 3/4 issues each time, after I restart it keeps poping the restart scheduling window. I've lurked around the forums and found an SFCScript to regain ownership of the RebootRequired key, but that didn't help also. Here's SFCFix's output.

I've also run the WU info output command, but I can't make much of the info it gives me, so I was hoping someone might be able to help me figuring this out.
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to Sysnative. Give this a shot.

FRST Fix
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Download attached file and save it to the Desktop.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
3. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
4. Press the Fix button just once and wait. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
5. When finished FRST64 will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post the contents of it in your reply.

Sorry for the late response Brian but I've had no opportunity to come back to the thread in the meanwhile.

Thanks for the availability, here are the contents of the Fixlog.txt FRST generated: https://hastebin.com/raw/rolenasozi

Looks good. Let me know if your reboot prompt is now gone.
