boot - Windows Update Failure


When I start my computer (Windows 7 Pro 32-bit) I get the following message:



Configuring Windows Updates


0% Complete


Do not turn of your computer



This stays on the screen for about 5 minutes, then it says



Failure to configure Windows updates.


Reverting changes .



And then boots normally.


This only started happening a few days ago, and as far as I am aware, I haven't changed anything significantly, I'm assuming it is because of a Windows Update that it installed itself.


Anyone know how I can get rid of this?


Answer



I had exactly the same problem this morning 64-bit win7. I usually choose the option for windows to update itself when I shut down the computer.


To try to get around the problem I started Windows Update manually. Told it to install the updates and then rebooted when it asked to.


Next upstart was normal and the problem was gone.
