Updater gets stuck in a “You Must restart Your Computer” Loop

It is possible for a problem to arise where the updater keeps repeating the ‘You Must Restart Your Computer’ step. Only 1 reboot is actually required. To force the updater out of the loop, click ‘Restart Later’ and exit the updater, then make the following change to the system registry:

1. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Session Manager

1. Remove the following entry under Session Manager: PendingFileRenameOperations

1. Start the updater again.
