The following was taken from a social.technet question reply from Bill Baer.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\UpdateExeVolatile - if the value of the UpdateExeVolatile registry key is anything other than 0 you will see this message.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations - if the PendingFileRenameOperations registry key has any value you will see this message.
See additional information below:
To remove an orphaned UpdateExeVolatile registry key value:
- Open a registry editor, such as Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe.
- Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\
- In the right navigation pane, double-click the UpdateExeVolatile key.
- Configure the key with a value of 0
- Close Registry Editor.
To delete the orphaned PendingFileRenameOperations registry key :
- Open a registry editor, such as Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe.
- Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\
- In the right navigation pane, right-click the PendingFileRenameOperations key and select Delete.
- Close Registry Editor.
I would add: please exercise extreme caution while editing the registry. You never know WHY the keys where wrong in the first place and if the issue accually hides a malfunctioning somewhere else...
seems to be a known issue:
