Well, I did a repair yesterday & everything related to rebooting/restarting was fixed; on the downside my WU was messed up, so I was back to where I started at the end of September.
So I reluctantly did a clean install without updates (I don't care for the telemetry ones adding keys in the registry) and spent 12 hours today getting my WU working again, because the clean install didn't have the new WU clients. I'm now updating 137 updates (a little over 1Gb).
So if anybody else has problems with WU, it seems imperative (certainly won't do any harm) to seek out a number of updates relating to WU clients/agents [KB947821 (SURT 500+kb), KB3020369, KB3112343, KB3138612 and the most important and latest is KB3172605] and these standalones installed when WU service is stopped.
I also found the reset Reset Windows Update Tool handy, plus net stop wuauserv commands etc. and cleaning out SoftwareDistibution. I also used WSUS offline to get a few more updates into the system while WU was not working.
I hope that helps because Microsoft really went overboard with their zeal to push Win 10 & many people suffered with the ensuing WU palaver.

I moved away from Windows 7 because of the Windows Update issue, no matter what I did it would not update, I ended up slipstreaming all the updates into a Windows build and reinstalled Windows with the slipstreamed disc. Problem solved, but I moved to Windows 10 now.
