  • The service "wuauserv" (automatic updates) does not work correctly

    The service 'wuauserv' uses constantly between 88 and 95% of my CPU, slowing down my computer to the point that it is almost unusable, so I've been suspending or disabling the process 'wuauserv' every time I use my computer.

    In addition, Windows Update does not, if "wuauserv" is suspended or not.
    It prevents just check the latest updates and never stops to do that no matter how long wait.

    Well, I managed to solve the problem.

    I followed the instructions on this page: http://workingscripts.blogspot.com/2008/05/windows-update-high-cpu-usage-fix.html

    Immediately after that, Windows Update and the automatic updates service finally started working again. It has been almost two weeks since I fixed it and have not had a problem since.

    I didn't format the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows XP for this problem - I have never done this because it does not seem necessary.

    And I do not see how this relatively recent automatic updates problem never touched my other problem Installation of Internet Explorer years discussed in my other thread.

    1 Java installed (Version 6 Update 31)
    2. Yes.
    3 IE7
    4 Google
    No. 5 a & b.
    6 NO.
    7. YES... In Add/Remove Programs, I have the following: Windows live essentials, Windows live sign-in assistant [and] live Windows Update tool.

    #7 ah, explains a little bit & offers at least a glimmer of hope.

    Background: Since one or more Windows Live Essentials (for example, Windows Live Messenger;) Windows Live Mail) were already installed IE8 is offered at your computer, auto update installed the MSN/Bing-optimized version of IE8 (although it was not called that at the time). Then your more later misguided (IMHO) use of registry cleaners (for example, CCleaner) removed his token of your User-Agent string - with at least another token (i.e., .NET Framework version 1.x).

    Pass, if this peut be fixed, this should fix:

    [You can print these instructions for reference offline.  [If a procedure says to restart, restart!]

    ACTIONS:

    1 right-click on the link, select SAVE TARGET as... and Save the installer for the 'vanilla' of IE8 for WinXP for your dekstop version - do not RUN it! -online http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/C/0/CC0BD555-33DD-411E-936B-73AC6F95AE11/IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3 uninstall Windows Internet Explorer 8 via Add/Remove Programs & reboot twice.  [Trust me]

    Note: Ignore any warnings "such and such might not work if...". "- everything will be fine.

    4. immediately after the second time restarts, double-click the file that you saved in #1 above to install the 'vanilla' of IE8 version; Follow all instructions & restart twice again.

    Note: Be extremely patient - the whole process could take 10 to 15 minutes or more, even without the second restart. And did not even try to open / use IE8 until after the second restart.

    5. then immediately re-open IE8 (only!) at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Select CUSTOM and scan | Install Security updates offered (e.g., KB2675157); Follow all the instructions.

    -Online if an update root certificates (KB931125) is listed under the category of updates software optional again, install it to enjoy greater security of IE8.

    TIP: As before, do NOT install any other updates software optional or any updated material in option .

    6. test your new version of the feature of IE8 & see if you can select Google as search engine by default now (if it is not already the default).  If you can not, I have another trick or two up my sleeve so hang in there!

    7. in response to this post with a status report. Good luck!

So I had to put windows to warn me of updates instead of going on the site, but now it keeps wanting to download me updates for Office 2007 and 2010, but I do not own these products (I use Office 2003).  I could not stop, even when I ticked the box does not warn me of those more.

    Hi Steve,.

    Follow these steps.

    Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel and double click on automatic updates. I'll explain why later.

    Then, tick the option at the bottom to turn off automatic updates, and then click apply/OK.

    Then, go to start, run, copy and paste this command and click OK: services.msc

    In the list of Services, you can see Background Intelligent Transfer Service ?

    Here's a pix what he looks like.

    If it is not listed, follow these steps to register the BITS service.

    Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll

    Research should show this file in the following locations:

    C:\Windows\System32
    C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\bits

    You might only see qmgr.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32 depending on your configuration.

    Then, go to start, run and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK

    Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

    Reboot the system and then copy / paste this command into the field run:
    %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.inf

    If you are prompted to insert the Windows installation CD, ignore this and in the dialog below, replace the path C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

    If you could only see the file in C:\WINDOWS\system32, change the path to that instead.

    Restart the PC and then go to the Services and you should be able to see BITS in the list.

    Double click on it and then on the general tab, click the Start button to start the service manually. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.

    If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
    Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll

    Reboot again and try once more to start the PIECES. It should work fine now, but in the unlikely case where it fails again, run the following command, and then press ENTER:
    Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

    Reboot once more and then do the following.

    Go to this link and install the IE8 December Update:

    Finally, go to the Windows Update site and you should be able to download normally.

    If this is the case, re - enable automatic updates in Control Panel.

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called winhttp when the name of the file should really be called winhttp.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    It's probably the pilots who are responsible and who may not really be later or they need to be
    re-installed anyway. The best way is to manually review using the methods below.

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek High
    Audio definition (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Write the description and the model double click on it - tab drivers - write down
    Version. Now click on update drivers who cannot do anything as MS is far behind certifying
    drivers. Then CLICK RIGHT on it and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver
    stack.

    You can have the default windows or a former certified pilot and it's all or part of the
    issue.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of the system and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to
    where you put - right-click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN-

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Go to the site of the manufacturer of the device, and then search for the even more recent drivers and install repeat
    operating mode. Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS
    ADMIN - Reboot

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
