Update keeps trying to install files after repair install

I replaced the MB,Processor and memory on my PC and did a repair
install. Windows update downloaded and installed about 84 files
and said some could not be installed. now, everytime I power
up, there is an icon in my programs saying that files are ready
to be downloaded. When I do, the process repeats installing those
91 files. how do I get it to stop?
