Restart Required Loop
My system keeps telling me I need to restart my system to finish installing software for my device. I have already restarted multiple times and verified that the device drivers and software installed correctly the first time. Microsoft Answer Desk used DriverPack Solution to try to repair the problem, but that caused other issues with services, including Malwarebytes. The final solution was to move my user profile to another profile because they believed my user profile was corrupted. That seems to be their go to response when things do not work properly, which seems to happen to me every month or two. My user profile is really that fragile?
I rolled back to a previous image this morning, connected my device again, and ran into the issue again on a different user profile. That suggests to me that it's something not working quite right in Windows 10 and not necessarily just a corrupted user profile. Performing a search revealed others suffering from similar issues.
One person was told it was a virus (not likely since I practice safe browsing and have had security experts check my machine for viruses to find nothing). I've also seen options to turn off all restart notifications, which might work for me to at least clear the message? I'm open to any suggestions. The notification returns mere moments after I clear it or click on it (clicking on it does not open Windows Update as I believe it should):
