Windows Update 100% CPU utilization Fix!

Hola,

Tengo un workarround en caso de que no funcione el hotfix.
2) Isolate Windows Update into its own SVCHOST process

a. Run "copy %windir%\system32\svchost.exe
%windir%\system32\svchostAU.exe".

b. In the registry, change Windows Update Service to use the
svchostau.exe

service

c. Using Regedit, point the image path of AU to use the new
SVCHOST:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv

d. Change Image path from %systemroot%\system32\svchost.exe -k
netsvcs to:

%systemroot%\system32\svchostau.exe -k netsvcs

e. Run "net stop wuauserv" to stop the service.

f. Run "net start wuauserv" to restart the service.

g. Run "tasklist -m wuauserv.dll" or "tlist -m wuauserv.dll" to
verify that an

svchostAU.exe is hosting wuauserv.dll.

Oh I have run into this a few times. Glad to see it has finally been
addressed.

FIX: When you run Windows Update to scan for updates that use Windows
Installer, including Office updates, CPU utilization may reach 100 percent
for prolonged periods.
