Automatic updates and svchost 100% CPU

Hello!

I'm having a problem with the automatic updates. I am running Windows XP, SP3.
Shortly after starting, my PC go slowly, and in Manager task, I see a 100% CPU running svchost. After some tests, I saw that disable updates automatic fix the problem. There is no error in windowsupdate.log. When I try manual updates on Windows Update, the PC stays on a page looking for updates.
Is there a solution?
Thanks for the help,
Enrico

  • Help the clean installation of Windows 7 Pro and using the GPO to run automatic updates and restart all night

    I am trying to solve a problem that will probably require a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The grace period ends in 3 days, and the next 30 days are final exams at the College. I have 2 licenses (and product key) of Windows 7 Pro, but my drive HARD goes wrong and I don't want to use MAK activation. I will be eventually to replace the disk, but is now bad timing.

    If a reinstall is needed, I was going to ask if anyone knows how to set the strategy of perhaps a GPO where Windows is updated automatically in the background and after installing updates, 45 or 60 minutes, then restart. The goal would be to have a computer fully patched when I wake up in the morning.

    This is my plan:

    Install Windows 7 Pro SP1 64 bit > Windows automatically updated and plug the Ethernet cable > define a GPO where the computer waiting for 45 to 60 minutes after installation of updates (so the msi may end in the background, and I do not interrupt the installation) > the PC will restart > more update swill be downloaded and installed > wait due to the policy of GPO before reboot > Reboot > do it until it's over. > wake up with a PC fully patched 7-9 hours later.

    Is this a workable plan?, and if so, how do I define policies such as delay restarting, etc. to achieve?

    The reset did not work. It would be a simple solution. I have a valid license, but I don't want to replace the HARD drive until after final exams are over, so I'll reinstall and activate. I try to achieve in the next 24 hours, so it doesn't keep me from my school work.  I must also support and will then replace my files.

    Feel free to advanced used terminology. I have some experience.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Another question: should I install a security suite before all updates being installed more than 12 hours, or wait until later? What is the level of risk?

    Anyone used Ninite to automate the installation of other programs? Is how safe it?

    Thank you!

  • Would PREVENT you automatic updates and other changes

    JO 8600 Pro.  Configuration of the wireless network.

    I want to prevent the automatic updates.

    There must be a way to stop the automatic firmware / software updates.  I have not found.

    "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" particularly printers.

    People update the firmware / software (not only HP) & some things suddenly do not work.

    I don't update * nothing * until I know what it is.

    I just installed some new cartridges, not HP.  All of a sudden the printer is accessing internet & "Download".  She flashed quickly on the screen of the printer & I couldn't read what it says.

    At the same time, he said something like '... then web printing will be also activated. "

    I disabled specifically that, in the SAP when I 1st installation program for the printer.  Won't print web, it is useless.

    Now, because I have replace a few carts, it's going to turn it back on for me?  Talk about balls of brass.

    I canceled that download / stop the printer.  But of course, he had changed my settings & reactivated web printing.  (I disabled it again).

    The next power on, printer took some download.  He did not said worth what - has just shown, "Downloaded X of Y" & showed progress.  I immediately cancelled again.

    If there are no parameters to prevent no matter what auto FW / software updates, or if she simply ignores them, I'll have to bury the printer under the firewall.

    Thank you.

    Thanks RnR.

    Here is a method to use a router to block devices to access the internet, which should work for many users.

    I decided to use my router to block internet access to the printer.  This can quickly and easily be reversed or modified.  It has 2 basic steps:

    1 assign the printer a static IP address.

    2. use the settings on the router to deny access to the internet to the static address.

    I have a Cisco / Linksys router, but many brands & models have these basic features, which are accessed from EWS from the router (built-in web server), via a web browser.

    HP support has the allocation of static IP address for printer more detailed instructions.

    Here is the HP document a coating for my OJ Pro 8600 & some other models: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03781399/

    It may be easier for most users to assign an HP printer a static address, using EWS of the printer rather than the screen of the printer.

    Note: as a general rule, when you use a router to assign a static API for devices that the router would otherwise be assigned automatically (via 'DHCP'), the selected static address is outside the current range of addresses, the router can be used to assign addresses to devices on.  Many routers, that the current range of addresses, it can choose to assign DHCP addresses is visible in certain section / tab of the EWS router.

    In my Cisco the current DHCP range appears under installation - basic setup - DHCP section:

    "IP range: 192.168.2.60 to 192.168.2.109.

    So I chose an address static printer off this (192.168.2.XXX).

    You should write down & save the selected API, in the case where there is no problem getting later printer (shouldn't be, but...).

    Assign the printer a static API did not affect access to its built-in Web server (for me).

    Once the static method API is assigned & recognized (by the router), use the settings of the router to block this address from internet access.  In my Cisco, it's under "Access Restrictions."  (You may need to turn the printer on / off; possibly reboot some computers, for the new static to be recognized address.)  Here's how I did in the Cisco:

    Log on to the router EWS (login by default & password is admin/admin.  You must always change router PASSWORD values by default, for security reasons - then your neighbor or your child can't hack your router remotely).

    Go to the tab "Access Restrictions" or similar.
    Click on "Edit PC" and put in the "MAC address" of the printer. (found in the network printer config / settings).

    Save the MAC address settings.

    Back on the homepage Internet access router, give this internet access policy (rule) a name.

    Then click on "Access."
    Check "Everyday" and "24 hours" for time, to block the IPa at all times.
    Save the settings.

    Now, the router will not allow this address to access the internet - for the specified hours, but the device (printer) can continue to communicate on the local network - all the time.

    The same can be done for specific computers.  You want to block computers in kids' internet access on certain days / hours.

    It seems that, after each automatic update of Windows Defender on my computer at home another updated appears another update showing about 3 days more later from "another source."  It should be?  The two definition links are link ID = 52661.  All definitions are different and my computer has been updated July 28,2010-July 30, 2010.  It has been also updated for the same KB915597 on May 27, 2010 and may 31, 2010.  I do not understand why the KB is downloaded several times automatically and also "other source".

    Left to itself, Windows Defender will be auto-updated itself twice a week (usually the Monday/Tuesday and Friday/Saturday). These updates are updates "Other Source" you will find listed in the update history.

    With Microsoft Update [1] as source of update by default, you will be offered that Defender updates when you run a manual check for updates. Here are the optional updates: If you choose to not install one, Defender will always auto-updated itself by what precedes.

  • problem with automatic updates and Microsoft Update in Windows XP Service Pack 3

    My sister has a problem with the automatic updates. He has offered 6 updates and she moved them, but next time, she turned on the computer, he was offered the same 6 updates again. She has set up 5 or 6 times now, but she is always offered the same 6 updates every time she turns on the computer.  She tried yesterday to go to the web site Microsoft Update and update his computer, but it runs into the same problem. Microsoft Updates installed updates to update, but after restarting the computer and try to update again, he was offered the same 6 updates.

    I try to help fix and I need help.

    I tried stopping the service automatic updates, delete the contents of the download folder, update the Microsoft Updates web site and then by restarting the service of updates without result. She also tried to remove the 4 updates, she could find in Add/Remove Programs, but also without result.

    Help, please.

  • Please help - Virus? Can not enable automatic updates and blue screens during the virus scan

    Hi, I think I might have a virus.  Here are the symptoms:

    • I can't activate the automatic updates
    • MS Security Essentials blue-screens in an analysis complete (I can do a quick scan)
    • I was able to run a quick scan of the Scanner for MS without problem.
    • When you open Internet Explorer I always get "stopped unexpectedly" and it gives me a choice to go to the previous page or home page
    • I have AVG Antivirus but it was blue-screening during a scan, so I uninstalled and installed MS Security Essentials
    • I ran a chkdsk /r and no errors not found on my hard drive

    I searched the internet and I tried a few suggestions, but so far I have not made progress.

    I am running XP SP3 and I don't remember disabling the automatic updates.

    I am open to any suggestions, just some guidelines at this stage.

  • Automatic updates and the resolution of the screen

    Yesterday I received an automatic update (April 19 GMT + 9 hours) and found that, although my desktop screen resolution is unchanged, everytime I open a program that uses the default screen resolution 640 x 480. I tried to re - apply my screen resolution settings and their reset through my graphics card. None of these options worked.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution that does not cause a relocation?

    No member of MS can answer what driver updates are available as what is offered depends on what hardware Windows Update 'think' he finds on your computer. If the restoration of video drivers does not work, no, you don't need to reinstall Windows! You just have to reinstall video drivers. See my first response to find out where to get video drivers or post back with information on what type of computer you have if you want more help. If you have a generic computer built, understand what graphics card you have. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Laptop crashes / freezes after automatic update and reboot yesterday evening

    I left my laptop on last night and when I woke up this morning, it was restarted.  I assumed that an update was downloaded and installed during the night, as I put it in place for auto Windows Installer updated to date.  When I tried to stop, would not display the start menu, then I got the message that windows Explorer has stopped working and I got the info to send to Microsoft dialog box.  I chose to send information about the problem, but then I got a message that the error report had stopped working, I wanted to send information to Microsoft... nothing has worked right after that.  The arrow of the mouse move but no program would go, and I couldn't access the start menu to stop.  I tried Ctrl/alt/del but nothing happened.

    I forced a restart and booted in safe mode.  I did a system restore to a point marked as an update of windows at 03:00 this morning.  The laptop booted up normally after that; I opened and closed some programs without any problem, so I thought that the problem has been resolved.

    I was using the laptop at school (I'm a teacher) and everything was fine until I tried to close Word.  He hung up and I couldn't do anything else.  Yet once, mouse move but nothing else has worked, and I couldn't access the Task Manager.

    I did a system restore to the point where I have installed several updates yesterday afternoon.  Has not fixed the problem.  I did a last restoration to a regular point since the day before yesterday... still has not fixed the problem.  I am now running my AVG Anti-virus in safemode, but he still found nothing.

    I need help!  I have a HP laptop which is one year (and only 2 weeks after the end of the one year warranty) and I am running Vista with Office XP.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I think it's fixed... fingers crossed.

    After that start above safe mode, I have restarted in normal mode in order to save what I could and uninstalled a few things.  In the process, I found the place to uninstall windows updates.  There were two listed as installed in 2010 - one is an update of windows and the other was a security update.  I uninstalled both.  I was using my computer all the rest of that day and had no more problems.  I do not know what updates, I uninstalled, but one or both must have caused the problem.  I wish I knew of to do it sooner, but honestly, I think that to do a system restore would be uninstall updates added from this point.  I know better now and I have disabled the automatic updates, so I hope that this will not happen.  Thanks for your help, even if it wasn't what ended up working :)
