Windows Update Loop?

Nowhere to be found info...yet random misclick and oh!
If you experience this issue of windows update infinitely
re-looping/restarting itself inside itself(in the frame of IE), try opening
every link/button with your middle mouse button(scroll button)...seems to
work for me, and it allows update to fully function, perhaps they have a bad
handler for catching mouse clicks or something. Hope it helps someone!

Does MS have a "public workaround site" for tips like this? Maybe I should
post this there too...

It sometimes opens a blank page in another tab but steps forward in the
update properly, and sometimes opens no page at all but yeah...it works for
me!

Is BitComet installed ? If so, disable it via IE, Tools, Manage Add-ons
prior to accessing Windows Update.
That will resolve the looping issue BurgNBeans.
