Windows Update loops with a "Restart your computer to install important updates"

Hi,
I have a Windows 7 x64 machine that is permanently stuck trying to install the same update.
I have followed various posts off of MS websites to rename SoftareDistribution etc. but none have helped.
HAve tried
1. Boot intoClean Boot Mode and try updating again.
2. Run the Microsoft Fixit and see how it works.
How do I reset Windows Update components?
3. Try System Update Readiness tool by referring toWhat is the System Update Readiness Tool?.
4. Run
System File Checker tool and see how it works.
The WindowsUpdateClient log posts the error 0x80070bc9
CBS log has the following:

Windows Updates Loops (Please restart your computer to finish installing updates

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the response! I am a little confused though. Which update do you mean? I am seeing quite a few pending.

Hi All,A ton of our clients have recently been getting caught in a loop of "please restart your computer to finish installing updates", configuring the updates, and then restarting to come back to the exact same thing. The updates never seem to apply. I know this is not a new problem, but the old methods do not seem to be working to fix it. Here is what I've done/ what I know so far.1. We use CentraStage RMM for patching. I've looked into it and it does not appear to be a problem on the CentraStage end.2. So far I am only seeing this on Windows 7 machines.3. I believe this started sometime in the last 3 weeks, and has definitely been going on longer than 2 weeks.4. No updatesare "failing" that I can see (see screenshot 2). The same updates appear to be pending after every reboot though (even though it is definitely configuring...
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

I was installing a new update on my MacBook Pro. With only 20% left it said "an unknown error had occured, please restart your computer." Now that I've restarted - I can't log in!

Ok, my MacBook haven't had any issues earlier, until today. At first Safari was acting kind of weird in that sense that a lot of letters were missing when you went on certain webpages, so I thought of updating since an alert-window popped up and notified that new updates were ready to be installed. So I opened up App Store through my Applications-folder and selected update.
First it asked if I wanted to connect my Mac to a powersource but since I had charged the battery to 79% I didn't think it was necessary. So I continued, computer restarted and began installing the updates.
Everything went fine until it was approximately three minutes left. An error message popped up and said something like "An unknown error has occured. Please restart your computer and try again". I pressed OK, rebooted my computer and when it asked for my password I typed it in. After I pressed OK, the computer indicated it was the wrong password. I tried multiple times and sometimes with different passwords... so now I can't simply log in! What's the problem?
TL;DR - Updated mac, failed after five minutes and now I can't log back in since "I have the wrong password"

Hot Fix error message for KB979344 "this update is not applicable to your computer", on Windows 7 64 bit with SP1

I've been having issues with an external Esata drive. Instead of being seen as a removeable drive, it is seen as a hard drive. This has caused us nothing but problems since our full disk encryption software automatically starts to encrypt
the drive rendering it useless.
The real problem I'm having is installing the Hot Fix, KB979344, for this issue. when tring to install, I get the message, "this update is not applicable to your computer" I've looked and this hot fix doesn't seem to be part of SP1, but
I could be missing it. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keithk,
This hotfix is already contained in Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
Please add the registry key to check if the issue persists. (For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. )
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Storage
Create a DWORD Value, name SATAHotplugPolicyOverride,
set 1 in Value Data.
Restart the computer to check if it works.

Miya

Synopsis
Problem: Endless Black Box "You Must Restart You Computer..." loop
Cause: Printing certain documents (so far one specific pdf file and a text file) through the wireless network at school initiates the problem and then all wireless networks perpetuate the problem thereafter
Steps Taken: Unplugged wireless network - this allows me to log in
-Warning box about fatal crash appears but "Send Report" does not produce any data
-Restarting wireless after login causes no problems
-Waking computer from sleep with wireless enabled causes black box to reappear
-Permissions repair did not resolve anything
-A complete reinstall solved everything until the other day when printing initiated the problem again, after having successfully printed numerous documents wirelessly over the past month
Other strange things my computer does:
-Makes very quite chirping sound with every key stroke (except arrows)
-Usually sits at the grey startup screen with the spinning wheel for a long time and then speeds through login process
-Only restarts successfully every second time after a hard-restart (the first time it just sits there spinning endlessly)
More Details
Problem: Black box appears notifying me "You need to restart your computer" (Kernel panic I believe?) I restart my computer once, and it sits forever at the grey screen with the little wheel spinning. I hard-restart my computer a second time and it logs me in and then the black box reappears... and then the whole process starts over again..
Circumstances: I had this exact same problem occur about a month ago and it happened again under the exact same circumstances. I recently installed a Korean wireless router, some other foreigner had left behind, in my school here in Korea. The first time it happened I was trying to print PDF document wirelessly from my classroom and the black box appeared. Then the whole endless loop began...
That night I tried to fix the problem at home. I was able to log into safe mode but the endless loop persisted when I tried a normal log in normally again. I finally did a reinstall from my external drive using the most up to date image I had created with Carbon Copy Cloner.
The following day I went to school and couldn't resist trying to reprint the suspect document. My freshly installed computer crashed and I was ****** at myself for experimenting so early in the day. Then I tried unplugging the wireless router and restarting and it worked! Then I plugged the router back in and everything was running smoothly again.
Now I have a new problem. If my computer wakes from her sleep with the wireless enabled I get the black box both at school and at home. I'd really like to avoid doing another reinstall... please help!
Thanks in advance!

Hey Rich,
Think my computer healed herself while I was away this weekend
What I am wondering is if
a Safe Boot will always get you logged in when the
other problems are occurring.
This question prompted me to try starting up in safe mode. I wanted to make sure the problem still persisted so I:
1. Plugged in ethernet cable
2. Turned on Airport
3. Ensured WAN was functioning
4. Shut Down my computer with just like I used to, with all network connections enabled
5. Power ON -> Flawless start up, no black box!
6. Put computer to sleep -> Woke up -> No black box!
Weird eh?
So the only way I can answer your question is based on previous experience. Logging in using safe mode did work the three or four times I used it the first time this problem occurred.
I did nothing to my computer since this error, no updates, no permissions repairs and no sudo daily, weekly, monthly house keeping. When classes were finished Friday night, I came home, put my computer to sleep with Airport off and ethernet unplugged and the following morning I shut her down, hid her in my sock drawer, and left for the weekend!
My only explanation is that somehow reconnecting to the wireless network at school allowed my computer to resolve unresolved issue it was having with that network, the same network that instigated the problem. That's my best guess.
Thanks for taking the time to try and help me out with this issue. The clarification you sought definitely helped us get a more refined picture of the problem. I'm sure this issue will rear its ugly head again in the near future... that is, unless you or anyone else have some ideas about what I could do to prevent this from happening again.

FU,
Here's the info you wanted:
-Only restarts successfully every second time after a hard-restart (the first time it just sits there spinning endlessly)
This might indicate a dying backup battery (the one that keeps your PRAM healthy)
My PowerBook isn't even a year old yet, could it be that my battery has died this quickly? Hmmm, another thing I have experienced is that my Mac wont wake from sleeping if I have let the power get so low that she has been forced to sleep.
1. "10 minutes of battery power remaining" box appears
2. Battery depletes and computer enters sleep mode by default
3. I go home and plug computer into power adaptor
4. Computer fails to wake up no matter how long I wait -->power adaptor light does indicate the battery is charging
5. I am forced to unplug my computer, remove the battery and hold down the power switch.
6. Power on -> Date and time settings have changed and need to be set again
Does this sound like the symptom of a low backup battery?
make sure that "Set time & date automatically" in the Date & Time System >Preferences is unchecked.
I've never tried this so I'll give it a shot and see if performance improves.
now it seems almost obvious: 99% looks like a network fault and nothing >to do with your Tiger installation...
Perhaps, I'm no networking specialist, but I have flawless network performance until printing some random document at school over wireless triggers the whole series of events I mentioned above. My home router has never triggered this problem... although I have never tried to print wirelessly at home because I have no printer.
1) how big is your network? (how many wireless and how many wired Macs >access your Router)
At Home: Very small, 1 PowerBook 64 and one iBook G3
At School: Small: Two Windows machines and my PowerBook G4. Wireless box is plugged into the existing router that was there. I have windows printer sharing checked in the "sharing" section of "system prefs"
2) make/model of your router
D-Link DI-624 (Home)
Some crazy old dilapidated korean box (at school)
3) how do you configure your router (via the browser (Safari) or via a >utility/application provided by the vendor)?
I believe I configure it manually... I access the router via web browser and configure my settings
4) make sure DHCP is set to Off/Disabled and set your IPs for both your >Macs and the Router manually
Check, Check
5) If you're familiar with network settings like hosts file, post back your >configuration / make sure your IP addresses are assigned correctly
Not familiar
btw your PowerBook has an AirPort Extreme card or a 3rd party Wireless card?
AirPort Extreme card
Thanks for trying to help FU, hope this information helps you.

When I try to open iPhoto I get a window dialog that says...
Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
I have tried the reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keyes pressed.
No change.
I dee nothing but a blank page,
Any help would be appreciated.
Also hace back ups of all images on cd's. dvds and jump drives.
Any advice is appreciated.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Windows Server 2008 R2: "The update is not applicable to your computer"

ALCON,
I'm trying to install a "Windows Update Standalone Installer" file (Windows6.1-KB3032323-x64.msu) along with other .msu files and I keep getting the same message: "The update is not applicable to your computer". The server is a
virtual machine and is also the vCenter server for the system, so I REALLY don't want to mess this installation up and break the system but the installation is needed and mandatory. How can I go about installing these .msu files.
*Note* The system is located in a classified environment so it doesn't have a connection to the outside (unclassified) world. But I'm able to have the .msu files placed on the system at any time.
Thanks!
V/r,
Stanley L. Johnson Jr.

Hi,
According to this KB article, there are many exceptions where this KB is not applicable.
Please perform the following steps:
Expand the “For all supported…” title in the File Information section in the KB article.
Find Crypt32.dll.mui files on your machine.
Then compare the file version, file size, data and time with the ones listed in the KB article.
If there is a match, then this KB doesn’t apply to your machine, which is by design.
Hope this helps.
