Problem Re: KB4048954 patch Requires a restart to finish installing

I'm not ready to install Fall update yet. This pertains to the Nov 2017 cum. update. I have the exact same situation and see what this guy sees in windows update in the link below."I looked at update history and the above patch is marked as "Requires a restart to finish installing".No matter how many restarts KB4048954 says the same thing. Not home now to check on the fix referenced below but curious if anyone ran into the same thing. win 10 pro.

.KB4048954 patch Requires a restart to finish installing - Microsoft Community

I have since gone into windows update and un-installed KB4048954 and installed KB4055254. Both are cumulative updates from November the former the problem one was from earlier in the month and the latter is from later in the month. KB4055254 installed successfully and does not say that it needs to be restarted. First picture shows KB4055254 installed but I still see KB4048954 listed. In the second picture right below it If I go to uninstall updates I see KB4055254 which is good and I no longer see KB4055254 so I am assuming that it was successfully removed. I believe now that this is mostly an aesthetic thing for me. I would like to remove from the list of updates KB4048954 so that I no longer see "requires a restart." Right clicking it does no good. Anyone have a solution? TIA.

 

Restart message

I keep getting the message "Your PC needs to be restarted to finish setting up this device: System Firmware 2.3.0". I've restarted multiple times. I've run troubleshooters. This seems to be preventing Windows 10 updates from completing. I don't know
where to go from here. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

KB4074588 Requires a restart to finish installing

I have a similar issue: Windows 10 Update View installed update history displays "Requires a restart to finish installing" for the KB4088776 Update, see the following screen capture:





I have restarted the PC several times to no avail. I tried Windows Update Troubleshooter which reported finding and correcting an Update error: Updates waiting restart. Every time I run the Windows Update Troubleshooter, it reports the same error which
it says it fixed. The "Requires a restart to finish installing" message persists. I downloaded the KB4088785 Update, but when executed, a message displays the update is already installed. The Windows Version 1709 (Build 16299.309) displays in Settings| About
which is the correct version and build for the KB4088785 Update.

How do I complete the "Requires a restart to finish installing"??
