Hi,
got the same problem sometime ago on one of my clients machines.
The solution for was very simple: just update the Windows-Update-Software
to the actual level.

I think it's got something todo with the windows-genuine-advantage
functionality...

CU,
Ralf

is it not included in the high to critical updates?.


I experienced the same problem just last night on a PC. and worse, took
almost 8 hours to complete!

Hello I'm Having this same problem too, Windows Update is causing 100% of CPU
usage. if I disable automatic updates it returns to normal but if I use the
Windows Update site it gets the same problem, not even scheduling to download
updates on early hours each week helps.

I even formatted my disk thinking that it was a virus but it wasn't any
virus since the problems is still there even in a clean installation, luckily
my Windows XP Pro CD includes the SP2 so at least I'm not much patches down.

Can you help me please?

Thanks in advance

Hi Folks,

i got the same problem. 100% CPU utilisation from svchost at using MS
Update. It doesnt make a different at manual or automatic Update.

My XP got the latest Updates till today. At each Update it takes up to 8
Minutes only for checking for new Updates.
