Error message: 0x8DDD0007 Windows Automatic Update

Since I've last updated with Windows (Automatic) Update it keeps saying it
isn't updated and should be restarted to complete the installation of
updates, even after it has been restarted numerous times.

Anyone else has this problem or knows what to do about it?

0x8DDD0007 ErrorRebootRequired


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.

I am getting this same error. Followed the steps. Deleted the Reboot required
entry. Restart my computer, and I keep getting the mircrosoft pop up telling
me restart of my computer is required (updating your computer is almost
complete, i must restart my computer for the updates to take effect) .. go
back to the same path, find the reboot required entry (folder) back again. I
have removed it 3 times and it keeps coming back. What do i do now?
