About 3 weeks ago my system is rebooting several times a day. I tried to update to Windows 10, Version 1607 (Windows indicated that this update was available for this system); however; I received a message that this update could not be applied to my system.

I tried to fix the problem changing the settings shown below; however, I failed to fix the problem.

gpedit.msc - Computer Configuration-Admin Templates - Win Components -Windows Updates I changed the 4 settings listed below. The remaining settings are the default configuration - not configured.

Configure Automatic Updates – Enabled Option #2-Notify for download and install
Automatic Update detection frequency - Enabled 22 hours interval
Turn on recommended updates via Automatic Update – Enabled
No auto restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installation – Enabled

My system just rebooted at 3:04 PM and is scheduled for reboot at 8:18 PM today. I believe the problem is Windows failing to update to Version 1607. But I could be wrong. I have tried most of the ways available on the Internet to install/upgrade to Version 1607 without success. Whenever I reboot the system the “Rebooting” dot-circle runs for a few minutes.

A review of the Windows Event Logs did not disclose any information that I felt was meaningful. Neither did CHKDSK.

At this point I’ll settle for a workaround to stop the constant rebooting.

A review of the update history discloses that Windows has frequently updated the system. In fact, there were 5 updates to the system since January 1, 2017.

Any suggestions for stopping this constant rebooting or the solution to upgrading to version 1607 will be deeply appreciated.
