Th infinite reboot bug annoys users
Many users have been complaining that the KB4284835 pushes their computers into an endless reboot state. Even if the update seems to be successfully installed it will be downloaded again, and you already know that Windows Update needs a reboot to be completed. So, it’s all just a vicious neverending circle. Fortunately, most users figured out a way of their own to solve it. They did this by just restarting the Windows Update service altogether.
Fix KB4284835 reboot loop issues
For starters, it’s important to be logged in to the system with an admin account because a standard one doesn’t have the right to control system services. So, launch a Command Prompt window with admin privileges and click on Start. Type cmd and right-click Command Prompt. The option that says Run as administrator will open. In the Command Prompt, type the following commands line by line:
net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver Ren C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old Ren C:WindowsSystem32catroot2 Catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver
Now, go to Windows Update and check for new updates. If the cumulative update awaits for you there, install it and repeat the process described above. If the update is not there, this means that your problem has been fixed. RELATED STORIES TO CHECK OUT:
