Help - Laptop in a continuous loop of windows updates!

[Spock]

Every time I start my laptop I get a couple of minutes delay while it is "configuring windows updates" and every time I shut it down it tells me not to power off while it "installs updates".

The last time I turned it on it said "error configuring updates - reverting to previous".

What to do?! Do I have to reinstall Windows 7?!

Will it let you restore to a previous date????
