In this case, a colleague of mine was complaining that his old XP client pc was installing updates every day and was requesting to reboot the machine every day in last 30 days. Fortunately, there was a single problematic update KB2862330 that was trying to install every day and requesting to reboot the pc every day.

In this case the update was installing successfully, requesting for reboot, and after the reboot same update was offered as available update for installing in endless loop.
I tried to uninstall and install the update, but it didn't help the situation.
According from KB article Scenario 3, I have disabled all the USB Enhanced Host Controllers from device manager before installing the update, and enable them after the reboot, but same update was on list for available updates for installation again.
I've decided to check the update log (KB2862330.log) for this update, I've found a lot of error events:

Now with disabled USB Enhanced Host Controllers, I ran the update KB2862330 again. The update log (KB2862330.log) was generating completely different lines. Something like :
