If Windows Update or the System Platform Patch Manager detects that a system restart is pending:
-
Restart your computer.
-
Run the System Platform Patch Manager again.
What to do if the restart message reoccurs
Occasionally, restarting the computer does not clear the pending restart message. This can be caused by a value in the following registry key:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Value: PendingFileRenameOperations
If you find this key/value combination:
-
Check the registry value data to identify the component that requires a system restart and contact your IT department or the component vendor for further help.
-
If you are still not able to proceed with installation, contact AVEVA Software Support.
