• Windows 7 stuck on update "restart your computer to install important updates"

  Yesterday by mistake I upgraded Windows 7 to 10.  After watching 10 hours, I returned to 7.  System check updates to day and put some apparently and followed with "Restart your computer to install important updates" - which cannot be updated while the system is using them.  All that seems fair enough.  However, the same reboot message was received after several reboots (including cold boots).  Cannot restore to last good config - probably due to their loss in the upgrade.  FixIt MS and solving problems of updating has not solved the problem.  Is there a switch somewhere that I can reset?  Help please.

  Is this the same computer - not necessarily the same problem - as in one or more of these previous threads of yours?...
