I, like most of you, am encountering the same error yet again. For some reason Vista does not like this PC and I constantly get errors with Windows Update…this time suprisingly after formatting and reinstalling the O/S. My fix? I’m going back to my RC build of Win7. It worked fine, never had issues.
Typical of Microsoft though, how to repair all the issues with a faulty O/S? Release a better O/S a little over 2 years later. I know its no help on this issue, but after running it on both my PC and Laptop for almost a year, I am extremely happy with it and recommend it to everyone.

try this if you can’t get rid of “requires reboot to complete” while sfc /scannow:

sfc /scannow /OFFBOOTDIR=c:\ /OFFWINDIR=c:\windows

this worked for me… good luck

I read so many testimonials and do sympathize with all of you. Before I tried anything, I decided to system restore a whole month back and it worked for me. It has been a week now without any problems and let my laptop slowly reinstall the important updates… good luck to all.. from gene cordoni

OMG.. you guys… HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first post..was telling you what he had tried …. and didn’t work, including your favorite…”pending.xml” file fix… well HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! It isnt’ working for some. All 3 of the fixes on this mile long page isn’t working for some..why the hell do you all keep posting the same crap… some people are looking for the fix that fixes it it…not the one that is plastered on every damn search result… we’ve already been there, done that. I’ve tried the “pending.xml, System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista, sfc /scannow, system restore, net stop wuauserv and net stop cryptsvc, In-Place Upgrade… still nothing. So why do people post useless info.. like.. buy a MAC, use a different operating system, and to use fixes that the original post already mentioned he tried. Try adding something that works and isn’t on this page. 106 posts, that I spent 30 min to read and it was all the same story. So the original dude posts the things he did.. then you all respond by telling him to do it all over again. NO CLUE.. I’m going to try the last resort.. format and re-install..but the way it is sounding.. that may be a dead end. Hopefully someone will add something thing in here and other forums, that I haven’t seen or tried.
