    windows 10 keeps restarting my computer for updates but does nothing


    I keep getting the Update massage saying my computer needs to be restarted for windows 10 update.

    Thing is every time it restarts nothing is downloaded and it just does it all over again like 15 minutes later.

    The Update it says its going to install is this
    Upgrade to Windows 10 Home, version 1511, 10586

    That's all it says and i am all ready in Windows 10, this has also caused the "schedule time for restart" to be grayed out. My PC has restarted like 5 times in the past 5 hours. What the heck is going on? I.E. it restarts at 9am then does it again at like 10am then 11am always putting the new time in the schedule for a restart.

    PLEASE help me stop this endless pain in the arse cycle. I use my PC at home to do my JOB!

    :)

    Thanks for trying to help. Nothing worked.

    I just gave up and did a full reinstall of windows 10 a CLEAN install. I removed everything so only windows 10 was installed on my system. Still it will not install the November Update.

    The Last attempted i got this Error message.

    0xC1900101-0x40017
    The Installation failed in the SECOND_BOOT phase with an error during BOOT operation.

    Run System File Checker:
    From the start menu, type cmd, then right-click on it and choose Run As Administrator.
    In the command window, type sfc /SCANNOW, press enter and let that run. It could take 10-30 minutes.

    If you get the error above when trying to run SFC, then in the same command window, try running:
    DISM /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
    then
    DISM /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
    then
    DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    Then let us now what any errors or msgs it reports to you.
