Are you using Powershell (Admin) or normal Powershell?

I keep getting the message "Your PC needs to be restarted to finish setting up this device: System Firmware 2.3.0". I've restarted multiple times. I've run troubleshooters. This seems to be preventing Windows 10 updates from completing. I don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I did something else and that seemed to solve my issue. At least for now. Thank you for your help, though.

Type following (or copy and paste following) one by one and Enter after each
SC config wuauserv start= auto
SC config bits start= auto
SC config cryptsvc start= auto
SC config trustedinstaller start= auto
Now restart your computer. Next time, these should get installed properly.
