Auto Update keeps restarting

I recently installed an update with Automatic Update. It asked me to restart
my copmuter. I chose to restart later. WHen I was ready, I shutdown my
copmuter. When I logged back on the next day the yellow shield in the taskbar
told me I need to restart my copmuter to complete the installation. So when
it asekd me I clicked restart. When I logged back on it still wanted me to
restart.
Someone please help!

See if You get some answers on the Microsoft support Update Site.

Good Luck, x@y

Reboot required message is generated:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WindowsUpdate\AutoUpdate\RebootRequired

If the key exists the message is generated by WU and it fails to work
further causing [Error number: 0x8DDD0007].

Disclaimer: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Use the information provided
at your own risk.

The solution is to remove the key (the reboot required entry only) so there
would be only

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WindowsUpdate\AutoUpdate
without the RebootRequired entry.
