Re: I get the prompt window "Restarting your computer is required"

This might be a double post, the previous reply did not show up.

Thank You Mark! Disabling Adobe Update from startup (msconfig) has worked.
I do not get the request to Restart anymore.

I checked the registry under Adobe but could not find anything for restart.

Does this point to a final fix?

Thank You and Best Regards

If the 'Adobe Updates' app is running from startup ( run msconfig.exe to
look on the startup tab) try disabling that.

David,

I still have the issue. I did do a search and found a patch validation
software from Microsoft. I did find 2 patches that were trigured and then
implemented the Microsoft fix. All patches appear to be labeled as ok
and
the issue is still there.

As you said, I click "No" and everything is fine. Been about a year and a
half now.

I've had the same problem ever since I allowed MS Updates to update
Windows
Media Player to version 11.

If anyone finds an answer to this lingering problem I'd like to avoid the
annoyance.

The message box appears everytime I reboot. But once I click No, I am
able
to use the PC OK and ignore the message.

"Restarting your computer is required.
The computer must be restarted before updating can continue. Would you
like
to restart now?"

Thank You Mark.

I ran the Autoruns but did not find anything in reference to restarts.
When
through the screen several times.

This pop up started quite awhile ago so I think backing out updates
would
require a considerable amount of updates to be removed.

I guess I will just click the "NO" button each time the Comp is booted
up.

Appreciate the support and Best Regards!

The above app may help you locate a start up, but there are many to
choose
from that originate from Microsoft. You may have to try uninstalling
all
your recent Updates from MS to see if one of them has done that.

Appreciate the support again Mark.

I checked out the RunOnce in the Current User section and that was
okay.

I went ahead and just ran through the reg looking for software /
Microsoft
/
windows / Current version / RunOnce and did not find anything else.

I am open for more suggestions on this!

Best Regards

Thanks for the reply Mark.

I looked into the setting with Reg Edit and there was a line
SMRequiresRestart REG_SZ I removed this and rebooted. The
window
still
popped up with Restarting your computer is required. I also
checked
RunOnceEx and there was nothing there.

Anymore suggestions?

Thank You

After every reboot or start up, I get the prompt window that
states
Restarting your computer is required". All software updates
are
successful
but this command or flag is set somewhere.

It happened quite awhile ago after updates but the updates
were
successful
and I can just cancel it and everything is fine until the
next
reboot.

Can anyone tell me how to disable this prompt? I do not know
where
it
resides.

Thank You
