Hi,
Microsoft update is the problem, it locks your comuter up with the file
svchost.exe. See the thread below. You need to disable your automatic
updates by going into control panel, administrative tools, services, find
automatic updates, doble click and disable, then reboot. Problem I find then
is updates won't work even manually but at least it frees up your PC. Hope
this helps
