Nope, it's done it itself - at long last.
It's just the frustration of saying "update and shutdown" which doesn't actually leave you shut down, and you have no idea when it will be possible to disconnect it from the mains!
Oh for ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) 's sakes: Win key, Power, "shutdown" (without update, hoorah!)
"Task host window is stopping background tasks" - which Windows opened - and it reboots itself instead of shutting down like I asked it ...
Sometimes, banging your head on the desk it better than dealing with this... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Ok this is the last time now people.
Right click start, select run, type control. This will bring up control panel. If you don't see Administrative Tools, Select View By in upper right of the dialog and select Large or Small Icons.
Now Go: Administrative Tools ->Services, right click on the Windows Update Service and change the start up type to disabled.
Now restart one more time (You may have one or two more corruptdates in the cache to install) but after that, Peace.

So how do you keep your Windows machines up to date?
I'm asking this because I'm reminded of the countless stories of machines being infected because of exploits that got patched months prior. Or are you willfully ignoring these?

Even if you only visit so-called trustworthy sites, ad servers have been compromised plenty of times before, resulting in perfectly good sites serving malware.
If you know something we don't, do share, because apparently you're one step ahead of the rest of the world.

I guess this happens if there are a number of updates pending ?
The cumulative one maybe...
