"Preparing to configure windows" Message EVERY time I boot up
Hi all.
Every time I boot up my computer (Win7 home premium 64-bit), I get the message that says "Preparing to configure windows", right after this, I get the "Configuring windows updates" message where it shows the progress from 0-100% before it loads windows 7. This has been happening all day today. I have never seen it happen more than once. Nothing is wrong with my computer that I can tell, this is just a nuisance because it pretty much doubles my startup time! I am familiar with the windows update process and I understand that from time to time windows will automatically install updates when you boot up after downloading updates. Why is it now showing this every time I start up, and what can I do to fix it? I really appreciate any suggestions and help!
Ps. When I try to search for updates thru windows 7, it takes a log time and then I get an error code 0x80040154 I do not know if this is related to what I'm experiencing, but I assume so.
Cheers,
Russ
