Every time i boot up windows i get the bubble saying restart to complete the
updates i do it then when i connect to the internet the bubble shows and says
it again and i cant get rid of it

Any ways to fix this as when i look on microsoft updates on site it says::
You need to restart your computer to finish installing a program
or updates. You cannot view or get other updates from the site until you
restart.
Read more about steps you can take to resolve this problem (error number
0x8DDD0007) yourself.

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.
