My windows 7 ultimate 64bit is always configuring updates every time i reboot. I tried using windows update and it found some updates and intalled them. One update always fail it says it needs reboot. So i did and it configured again...then did another update and found the same update again and same thing happens reboot and configure. Every time i reboot or start the computer it does the configuring. Can someone help me please. Thanks

Is your OS at the latest service pack (SP1)? If not, I would service pack it, then apply any remaining updates.

Ok, so what you have is an update that is "stuck". I still don't know why this happens, but there is a fix for it in the Microsoft database, here somewhere:

Unfortunately its still doin the same thing after downloading the update. I think its having and error on one of them. Please help. Thanks

If you do not want your computer to download updates then go to control panel and change the settings for Windows Update.
