For the last week whenever I shutdown my Windows 7 Home Premium laptop, I get the yellow shield telling me I have updates (both updates are shown below my question). I shutdown the system, the updates download and install. The next time I shutdown my system, the exact thing happens again, with the same updates.
So far I have run the Microsoft Mr. Fixit tool no success, uninstalled and repaired both the .NET Framework 4 extended and the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile, with no success. Any suggestions?
First update:
Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB2600217)
Download size: 32.2 MB

As an administrator, stop the Windows Update service (Start > Run > services.msc, stop Windows Update). Rename the
%WINDIR%\SoftwareDistributiondirectory to something like SoftwareDistribution.bak and restart.Occasionally I've seen updates become "stuck" and cached, prompting the behavior you're seeing. This method normally works for me in most cases.
