A little slow to boot, even with Fast Startup enabled, but not any worse than Win8.1, and I can live with that, so no big deal. For the past week, I get a pop-up about an auto-reboot at 12:00AM to install updates. I've set the Win10 drive as the primary boot drive in BIOS, and left it turned on all night so it could do it's thing, but I'm still getting the message every day. If I manually check for updates, there are none. My update history shows 5 were installed on 2/23, 1 on 2/13, 2 on 2/11, etc., all the way back to 1/25. Anyone have any ideas on how to let the system know that's it's already been rebooted numerous times, and to clear the message? It doesn't show up in the "New Notifications" app (or whatever it is) in the systray, so there's not even anything there to change. It doesn't seem to hurting anything, just gets to be a little annoying after a while. Thanks! There's a hint here. A whole lot to digest, but you can at least use Regedit to see if something is set. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/hansr/archiv...tchreboot.aspx HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RebootRequired mumble... Rather than the registry key being the end of the story, that article seems to suggest that various subsystems can scan and determine a reboot is required. So don't be surprised if that bit comes back, if something is amiss in some store state. While you would hope that bit only gets set the one time (by the postamble of the update installation), it may not work that way in practice. HTH, Paul Well, the installation of the two apps didn't help. I rebooted a while after the installation, and within 5 minutes of booting up, the popup returned. I ran MBSA v2.3 and it found no incomplete or missing updates, although in all fairness, I think it only checks for Important security updates, and not Recommended or Optional ones. After running the PowerShell script, and installing the two apps, that entry in the event logs has not returned, so I'm lost again on what the hell it's looking for. Thanks for your help. I'm taking a rest on it for a while while I let my brain cool :-) -- SC Tom |

Interesting, running 9926 on a Acer 5336 and am really impressed as to how much faster it boots over Win7 41 secs , power-up to ready to go... do have an issue with one update, it will not install and there is no option to refuse it or hide it.. try this page http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 Did this work for you? yes worked perfectly but I've got win 8, dont know if it will work with win 10 Did you do all of the "regsvr32.exe" steps? no just run the auto part as is shown. worked a treat on win8 --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com |

HTH, Paul I'm beginning to think it's some kind of "ghost" message. Although it says it needs to reboot as scheduled at 12:00AM, it doesn't reboot. Not worth the effort anymore. I'll wait and see what the next build brings. -- SC Tom |

Automatic updates -SOLVED (well, maybe)

I noticed that my clock hadn't changed for DST, so I put Time on auto, and the update it was trying to install downloaded, installed, then prompted for either "Restart now" or "Schedule a restart." I restarted now, and after 2 hours of up time, no message about rebooting at 12AM. Don't know why manual works for my previous versions of Windows, but isn't acceptable on my Win10 :-( -- SC Tom |
