    endless cycle of installing and configuring windows updates???


    For the last week I have been having a problem when shutting down w7 and booting up.
    When shutting down there is an exclamation point in the start>shutdown icon
    When I click on it a message appears installing windows updates. After about 30 seconds the PC shuts down

    When I start my PC I get a message across the screen
    Configuring Windows Updates
    0% complete
    Do not turn off

    The message remains on the screen for about 5 minutes and then my desktop appears.

    I have tried to remedy the problem with System Restore, but the last restore point shows the last update and today's date!

    This is an endless cycle at every shutdown AND bootup

    Any suggestion as to the cause and solution of this frustrating problem??
    Thanks for your help~

    Provlima,
    To help us better help you, please fill in your system specs.



    HOW TO FILL OUT YOUR SYSTEM SPECS


    In the line at the top of www.SevenForums.com you will see UserCP.
    That is an abbreviation for User Control Panel.
    Click on UserCP.
    In the left-hand column, under Your Profile you will see Edit System Spec.
    Click on Edit System Spec
    You can copy and paste from the output of Speccy, Speccy - System Information - Free Download to fill out much of the info. Be sure to use the Other Info section of your System Specs for such info as your optical drive, your wireless adapter, your speakers, etc.

    Seems like MS was pushing a new update fast. After this I haven't experienced any problems
