Windows Always Updating?

[Zip]

I think i have a Problem with Windows.


It installs(Says its installing) 2 updates every single time i turn the computer off

This cant be normal can it? If not what is causing it?

Ive got Windows 7 if that means anything to you guys.

It may be having an issue updating the same update. I had a similar problem & went to the windows update via control panel. There were a few separate important updates ticked. I deselected all bar one & let it update one & then the other, problem sorted.

Some updates also require other updates to be installed first.
for example in XP sp3, you install about 100 updates, then after a restart there's 30 more, then 5, then 2

I'd suggest checking if there are any updates that failed to install as they may be failing to install during shutdown (and if they are then I suggest attempting to install them before shutting down).

I had an issue with not enough disk space on drive C:. This meant WIN 7 SP1 would not be able to install and it tried MANY times without me realising, before I increased space by shifting partitions about.

You may be experiencing an error during the update process.. check the updates section on your PC

Run the following commands (copy and paste and put into a batch file)

Basically stops windows update service, registers dll's, deletes any updates sitting waiting to be installed, then starts windows update service and forces through updates

net stop wuauserv
regsvr32 /s wuapi.dll
regsvr32 /s wups.dll
regsvr32 /s wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 /s wucltui.dll
c:
cd %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
rd /s/q DataStore
mkdir DataStore
rd /s/q Download
mkdir Download
DEL %WINDIR%\WINDOWSUPDATE.LOG
net start wuauserv
net stop "Automatic Updates"
net start "Automatic Updates"
wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
