Error 0X8DDD0007 at update page

I am getting error 0x8DDD0007 at the windows update page and it says it needs
to restart, that a process did not complete. It is in a look I have
restarted, rebooted serveral times. Any ideas? SP2 had just been installed.

Thanks.

0x8DDD0007 ErrorRebootRequired

reference:

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 v5 update and it fails to work further
causing [Error number: 0x8DDD0007].

The solution is to remove the key

so there would be only

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WindowsUpdate\AutoUpdate

without the RebootRequired entry.

Note you can save the registry key first by:
On the File menu, click Export.
In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save.
Or create a system restore point prior to editing.
