Request for reboot on startup

[Guest]

Greetings,
Our university has automatic updates set to always on, but I generally check
for updates on various programs manually also. Unfortunately the other week
I manually installed some that were waiting to be installed automatically and
now every time I boot the machine I receive the popup saying the computer
must be rebooted to finish installation. It does not continue with the
messages after I select No (fortunately) but it is a nuisance. Windows
updates are not listed in Add/Remove Programs on our machines. Is there any
way short of roll back of multiple weeks to fix this problem?

Hi,

Remove anything that is listed here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

All the Best,

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately there are no values under either
field, so looking for something else to attempt.
