Computer continuously restarts, says it needs to restart to complete the installation of updates?

The updater windows constantly appears and says that I have to restart my computer for the updates to take effect, when I restart my computer, it will work for awhile then it will be pop up and ask if I want to restart now, even if I hit reporter he will give me 15 minutes so that it restarts automatically.

If anyone has had this problem, or know what could be causing this to happen?

Hello

Please contact Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are facing the issue on Windows updates.

I will definitely help you with this.

I suggest you go through the below methods:

Method 1: Try to run the troubleshooter Windows updates:

Problems with installing updates

http://go.Microsoft.com/?linkid=9666880

Method 2: Try the clean boot:

A clean boot is executed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This will eliminate the conflicts of software that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in 8.1 of Windows, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista. You can also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.

Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

I hope this helps. Please post back with the State of the question and we will be happy to help you further.

  • Nagging "restart the computer to complete the installation of updates".

    Using Windows 7 and had automatic windows updates turned on - I now will choose updates to install.  While I use my computer, the dialog box appears constantly on my screen asking you to restart the computer to complete the installation of the updates.  I restart the computer a couple of times and yet the box is always displayed.  It is obvious that restarting the computer is not the problem.

    I get an error message saying "Windows cannot update of important files and services while the system uses them.

    Sorry, no, I don't know what update has been installed. I watched the updates of windows and they say they are still installed even last night and I get the error message. I looked at all the recent updates and thus, they are all showed that the installations were successful. I'm not sure but I think it started at the end of last week or the weekend. I'll also try the second suggestion that you did, but I don't know much about computers so it could be a bit of a challenge.  Bill

  • My computer keeps asking me to restart to complete the installation of Firefox

    I just tried to upgrade to Firefox 8 and was asked to restart my computer. During its restart and try to run Firefox, I kept getting a message asking me to restart my computer. I've done several times and kept getting the same message.

    I found somewhere on the web that the problem could be due to some windows update that requires restarting the PC. When you press this firefox prompt restart, update of victory is not done, so it remains pending and firefox will keep asking you to restart.
    Just make all the updates to windows, and then start/stop normally, so that windows gets all those sorted. After that, install firefox again and it should be ok. Mine is and I had the same problem. Discovered that I had 10 updates to windows that require a system shutdown. Those, and then installed FF8 and everything is back to normal.

    Hello

    For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

    This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

    ________________________________________________

    You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

    See you soon.

  • PC has not successfully restarted after the installation of updates

    Hello

    I have been updated with Windows Update and asked to restart my PC after the installation is complete, however, my computer froze just at that moment, so I had to press the power button to force it to close. So I don't a not properly restart but forced my PC to stop and I have not a screen saying "Configuring updates" as usual (because there is no restart appropriate but just a forced to close). When I turned on my PC back, I thought that all updates have been lost or screwed up because I don't restart the PC correctly, however, instead, windows said it was "Configuring updates" (from 0% to 30%) and 30%, he said he has been stop and then rebooted my machine and these updates have been 100% configured/installed.

    So my question is, were all 100% installed as said windows updates or was it just a fake reviews? Because I forced my PC to stop rather than restart it when all updates to complete the installation.

    In addition, argues that all updates have been installed successfully in the "Installed updates" menu, too. Please let me know if it of a false notice or not.

    Thank you
