My Windows 7 64 SP1 PC is in "Restart your computer to install important updates" infinite loop

Here is what I tried so far:
Windows update FIX-IT
Renamed SoftwareDistribution & Catroot directories

Started an Elevated Command Prompt, and copied and pasted in the following:

fsutil resource setautoreset true %systemdrive%\

attrib -r -s -h %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\*

attrib -r -s -h %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.tm*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.blf
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.regtrans-ms

When I get to the line del %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\* where it displays the error message that the "files are in use"

When I try to run "DISM /image:c:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions" from the recovery command prompt, it tells me that the "image can’t be accessed"

Help please, I am stuck.

Thanks

Hello and welcome

Due to the precise nature of your corruption, you will receive help from a user named CKing123. He's one of our senior trainees here who's in his final phrase of his studies and needs to gain some real world experience in specific areas of Windows Update. This means that he'll be assisting you, but that I will first need to double check and approve his fixes before he posts them to you. If anything this is a good thing for you because it means that you've got at least two of us watching over your thread, but it will unfortunately add a slight delay between each reply. I hope that you understand and can accept the need for us to train up new members in this way in order to carry on doing what we do here, however, if for any reason you object to this setup, I will happily take on your thread myself.

Thank you very much for your understanding. We'll be with you very shortly.

Hello ChingghisKhan :) Thanks for the WU key query. Please do the following:

After the restart, does the computer asks you to restart your computer to install important updates?

Thank you for your help.
