This is happening the last 4-5 days. CF starts updating, it tells me that new updates are available, i install them, reboot the machine.
After the pc boots i check for updates and CF tells me there are new updates, i install them, reboot and the same thing happens. Today i wanted to confirm that there is a bug or something and did the whole process 3 times. Same thing happed all the times.

What do you think?

Might be an idea to save your configuration settings (by going into configuration and clicking export), reinstalling CFW and then re-importing your settings. I never update via the built-in updater as I've had problems with it multiple times in the past.
Here's the link to the newest version of Comodo Firewall (v10.0.1.6223):
http://download.comodo.com/cis/download/installs/5025/standalone/cmd_fw_installer.exe

As a note, exporting/importing settings also includes any changes to trusted vendors or application rules, so any files you've deemed trusted will be exported as well.

I dont think i will do something like that because im too lazy. Also im thinking of letting that for now. The sandbox mechanic will always work and it doesnt require updates imo.

Sometimes, Comodo updates are needed to prevent major conflicts with Windows updates, such as Creators Update, or to fix holes in the protection. It's not all about new features that you can live without.
