Thanks. I did that.

Funny thing, I just booted the PC, and right away I went to shut it down,
and the message saying update are ready to install is again there. Even
though I did shut down my PC few minutes ago.

All what I can think of is that it is not installing the update for some
reason when I shut down the PC. I also go to windows Update and click
install and it tells me it is installed ok, then I shut down the PC and
reboot, and go to shut it again, and the message telling me updates are
ready to install is there.

I think MS needs to fix its update system.
