Windows 10: Restart to Install Updates -- however ...

1 Got pesky "Restart to install updates" pop-up

2 Notification box which can't be moved covers item I'm trying to but now no longer can Close*

3 Reduce Restart Pop-up, Close open item & then Click Restart Now

4 Get pop-up warning of other Open/Unsaved items actually helpful!

5 Save/Close those docs & attempt to resume Restart

6 Restart Now button is now Dead ?! no-workie! ...WTH??

7 Close Restart Notification I can just re-open that, right?

8 Open Settings, only to find that Restart Now Notification isNowhere to be found! WTH??

9 Open Control Panel & Search for "Updates" --- which only shows Updatehistory WTH??

10 Ask Cortana about "Restart for Updates" - Response is something like "Duuuh...Whaaa? I don't understand!"

11 Search for "Restart for Updates" see Cortana, above which prompts ... "Nothing Found" WTH??


My Questions: How is any of this helpful?? - & - What the %$&# am I missing here?


It is now 11 days past "April Fools Day" but I still feel as if I'm being 'punked' by M$

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
