• Wuauclt.exe memory and processor

  I have a problem with wuauclt.exe.  It activates all 20 minutes and stalls completely all other activities on my computer, using 90-100% of my CPU.  I read that the solution is to disable automatic updates. I did it, I rebooted, and yet I still have this problem.  If I go to the Task Manager when wuauclt.exe running and I manually stop the process, my CPU usage immediately goes down immediately.  I don't want to remove wuauclt.exe constantly since I I want to use it as a time to get my updates.  Is there something I can do, and if not, how to remove wuauclt.exe?

  It makes no sense because it's guessing on what might be things.

  After that the last series of Microsoft monthly update (13/08/2010), some systems (but not all) seem to have this problem.    Would you say that your questions come or shortly after the 13/08/2010?

  Apparently, Microsoft issued a statement:

  "We have got reports from multiple sources and believes that it is a matter of on-line service and we're investigating it as a priority of 1."

  I can't wait for MS, this is my statement on how to deal with the problem at the moment (there is no error or guess):

  The automatic update service seems to be involved in this issue.  Not all machines well experience the problem.  It may be more common
  on systems that have installed the 512 MB of RAM or less, but it varies.  The amount of RAM your system installed?

  When you restart your system, the auto update is supposed to run, looking for things to do and if he doesn't find anything to do, it should run
  turns off in a "short time".  It is sometimes not turn off or take very long to figure things and continues to run
  and a popular symptom is excess HDD activity, slow response time, and in the Task Manager, the wuauclt.exe process disappear like him
  should be when automatic updates checking would normally not be complete.

  As a test to see if it is involved in your question, you can temporarily disable the automatic updates service in XP, restart your
  system and see how things look with disabled AU.  If things are better, you can leave it like that and not had any future problems and
  Wait for the ideas and maybe a fix from Microsoft or you can change the way that automatic updates are managed and let the auto update
  Service running.

  You can completely disable the service to THE as a test and then see how things work.  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  services.msc

  Find automatic updates, right-click service, stop if it is running (it may take a little time to stop). In the properties.
  Set the startup type to disabled, click OK, etc. to close the Services application, and then restart your system and see how things look now.
  You can look in the Task Manager process tab and should NOT see wuauclt.exe process (it is disabled).

  If the system works very well with disabled AU, you can continue to read for my workaround or if the system still has problems, you may have another problem.

  There are two types of updates, you can get from the Microsoft web site (they enter manually or automatically):

  Windows updates
  Microsoft updates

  The solution that I use is to configure your automatic updates to leave the active Windows automatic updates and simply disable the
  automatic Microsoft Updates.  You'll just have to manually check the Microsoft updates until the issue is better
  resolution.

  If you disable the Microsoft updates, you will not get updates for MS Office, Windows Live, or Silverlight when you turn on the
  Microsoft is updating again (later) but which can be acceptable to you.  This is the temporary consequences:

  What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?  Microsoft says this:

  "While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download
  and install the updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live [as well as Silverlight & Microsoft
  Security Essentials]. Automatic update is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to download and install automatically
  updates with each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC. »

  You will always get the updates of Windows coming out the second Tuesday of each month automatically (Microsoft calls this Patch "")
  Tuesday") and sometimes you can get Windows updates more before the next update Tuesday, but until MS he figures and fix it
  You must remember to check for any Microsoft Updates yourself by hand (you are going to disable this part for now).

  To disable the Microsoft updates, you must use Internet Explorer, click on tools, Windows Update and on the left side of the
  Update of the page, click on change settings.

  Scroll to the bottom of the page, and then click the box that says:

  Disable the Microsoft Update software and let me use Windows Update only

  Click on apply changes now and replied in the affirmative (Yes) in the message box.

  Restart your system and you should see the wuauclt.exe process appears in Task Manager, as he always does a restart and if
  your system needs no update, wuauclt.exe process should go away - in a few minutes depending on your system.

  This should be it.  You can restart once or twice and see the process in the Task Manager tab as soon as your system is able
  and you can watch to see if the wuauclt.exe process disappear once he catches up and moved.  This may take several minutes
  but it should disappear eventually.

  If you want to re - light the Microsoft Updates some time later to see if there are updates, using Internet Explorer, click
  Tools, Windows Update and update page, click the Green «Go' located to the right of the message «get Microsoft Update»
  Today! "Who will turn on Microsoft Update and you will have the problem wuauclt.exe again the next time you reboot
  (unless it's fixed at that time here).

  You can turn your Microsoft Updates whenever you want and look for updates or if you remember after the next update
  Tuesday, you can turn your Microsoft Updates and look for Microsoft Updates then and get all updates necessary.  You
  are in control.

  When you have done with all of your updates, disable the service of automatic update again and restarted, or disable just the Microsoft
  New update and reboot when finished.

  Maybe Microsoft will soon have this figured out, but that's what I'm doing at the moment.

  Thank you PA bear for notes and other assignments.

  Can you post the error message you get when you try to install or launch iTunes?

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• Wuauclt.exe slow down my computer

  Whenever the Windows Update automatic update Client runs, it significantly slows down my computer.  For this reason, I put automatic updates updated Fridays @ 03:00, so that I'm not on my computer and it should not cause me any hassle during the working day.  However, this is not the case.  It's a Tuesday afternoon and I have wuauclt.exe now works and has downloaded the updates and continues to ask me to install the updates.  It is difficult to run the programs I need for running the job with that.  I've closed several times by the Task Manager: processes tab and it will not be closed.

  How to stop popping up and running ONLY at 03:00 on Friday?

  Sorry for not responding earlier but I never received a notification of any more responses about this until today .

  My preference would be to make manual updates on the site, so I won't warn me, warn me or come at all.

  As Mike has already said, if your on a domain network, you must ask the Admin on how the system is updated.
  If it isn't and you are the person who updates it, then you have to turn off the automatic updates service and set THE " disable automatic updates. I want to update my computer manually. "

  When you are ready to update, and this includes to restart the system so that files that are used can be replaced, and then start the automatic updates service before either visiting web sites Windows or Microsoft Update.
  Security updates are issued the second Tuesday of each month; No updates for Windows security are issued the 4th Tuesday of each month.

  However, this will prevent the installation of any out of band, critical security updates unless you watch ( the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), search for the Microsoft TechNet security bulletins or the pages of Description of Software Update Services and Windows Server Update Services changes in content for 2010 .

• Wuauclt.exe can be scheduled?

  I have xpsp3. For the last two weeks, I was plagued with periodic stops nearby. The only thing I can see running in the Task Manager is wuauclt.exe. Sometimes this occurs at inappropriate times. It usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, once or twice a day, and my machine is virtually unusable during this period. Controls when he directs wuauclt.exe? Is it possible to predict when it will run, so that it does not work at critical times? Thank you.

  My computer has 504 MB of RAM.

  Well, it's better than my cheap old WinXP laptop (384 MB) but still fairly weak power, all things considered.

  Actually, your best option (for now) will be found in this post of mine in a related & recent thread:

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistawu/thread/ef18ff87-db7f-4705-8105-33dcf9a9a03b/#44e80262-9a91-4DDB-9770-63810962cb8c

  Once you "flip" by default to Windows Update, you should see significant improvements (and Microsoft Security Essentials will always auto-updated itself).

  But you have TO remember to 'flip' to Microsoft Update or shortly after Patch each month on Tuesday so that the automatic updates offer updates for Office, Silverlight, Windows Live Essentials or updates of theprogram (no definitions) to MSE.

  Whaddya think of that?

• is there a minimum set of windows services that can be run under Labview?

  I need more cpu resources to perform my VI, is there a list of Windows resources that I can disable that will not affect the VI?

  Hello

  I would like to know if there is a minimum of services set in really need of LabVIEW. Not because my VI needs more CPU, but because I don't see why I should have 10 services OR running in the background even when LabVIEW is not working.

  The list of services OR that I have running on my Vista 64 bit system when LabVIEW is not running is:

  national instruments tagsrv.exe 1 k 9 996 variable motor

  2 nisvcloc.exe NOR 0,920 k service locator

  3 NOR-PAL 3 492 k nipalsm.exe service manager

  4 NOR-Pal 7 468 k nipalsm.exe service manager

  nidmsrv.exe 8 nidmsrv 3 492 k

  lktsrv.exe 9 iktsrv.exe 3 480 k

  10 lkads.exe lkads 3 124 k

  TOTAL 56 844 K

  Anyone know which of these I really need? I do not connect any equipment data acquisition on this machine. It is purely used for writing vi which are then transferred to another machine where they are tested. I have installed DAQmx and LabVIEW 8.6.

  Thank you.
