Odd black registry update after start up
I installed updates on my tower last night for the first time since late June of this year. It included some Microsoft Security Essentials definition updates, a bunch of the generic security updates. IE11 security updates, and MS Office 2007 suite security updates. I downloaded and installed everything, rebooted, and wen on with my night like normal. Everything updated and continued running like normal. When the computer came back online it rand the blue "configuring windows updates" screen that anyone with Win7 has seen. Everything was fine. Shut it down last night and turned it on today. The Asus screen came up like normal, than the Windows loading bar for 2 seconds before it normally goes to the log on screen. Except today it didn't go to the log on screen. Went to an all black screen with white lettering similar to the old dos screens. The messege was large and read something along the lines of "Update operation xxxx of 2292....C:\Windows.....\registry\curr..."
I've long been a MS pc tech, network admin, imaging and deployment tech for multiple companies. I've never in my life seen Win7 update this way. I've not noticed any issues with my PC today after I seen this. I'm using it right now to write this post. No security threats have been found, nothing deleted, hijacked, or acting odd in the slightest. I basically just want to make sure this was a legit update from Microsoft. I've been working in Window's since the first NT platform and I still don't like having to modify personal or client registries because one miss key and you no longer have a PC. Has anyone encountered this or am I worried over nothing?
Edit: Win 7 Home Premium x64, AMD FX-8350 on Asus board.
