Windows 10: windows restart message

my Microsoft Windows 10 keeps coming up with a restart required message with only 2 options, Restart Now and Wait 1 hour. When I press Restart Now, It comes back with a couldn't restart with the same 2 options. the only way I can clear it is to "Wait 1 hour" at which time I have to repeat the process. I have restarted the computer many times but the pop up message keeps coming back, How can I clear this pop-up message once and for all?

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.
