SharePoint Setup Error - A system restart from a previous installation or update is pending. Restart your computer and run setup to continue.

After completing to run the SharePoint 2016 prerequisites in my virtual machine, I got stuck with this screen:

I tried many times to reboot the computer and run the prerequisites again, without any success. So after a research I found this trick:

1. Close the SharePoint Setup
2. Open the Registry Editor
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Session Manager
4. Rename PendingFileRenameOperations to OldPendingFileRenameOperations
5. Start the SharePoint Setup

After doing these steps, I was able to finish my installation.
