Processor load of the svchost (Windows Update)

Hi all

I have a problem with my new installed Windows 7 (32-bit) PC. A single process (svchost.exe) use 50 to 60% of the CPU load, which leads to a low performance for other programs. After researching, I discovered that this is due to a problem with the update of Windows. When I disable the Windows Update the CPU load went to close to 0%. But unfortunately I won't be able to get updates aynmore.

I searched the Internet and tried a few ways to fix:

1: turn off Windows Update--> delete everything in the folder of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution--> download activate Windows Update

This led to a shutdown of the svchost.exe for maybe 5 minutes. Subsequently, everything was as before.

2: using the Microsoft Fix "WindowsUpdateDiagnostic" that resets the update together.

No change to the problem above.

When Windows Update is looking for new updates that he continues to search for hours (and probably more) without finishing. Some people in the Internet said it might be a problem with a special "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320' update. This one is the only one I have in my history of update. What other shots on my eyes, is that whenever I step 1 (above) before svchost take still more CPU load some process called "TrustedInstaller" was shortly at 50% of CPU load. Maybe it's some special update from the Windows Update is blocked on?

Do you know what I can do?

I noticed this also on all of my devices.  Of course, there is a Windows Update to fix the Windows Update...

  • Canon scan to folder (Server 2008 R2) from the latest Windows Updates (13 sep 2012) it doesn't work anymore...

    We have a few Multi functional Cannon, who were able to scan to folder to our file server 2008 R2 server.

    Since the latest Windows Updates (13 sep 2012) it doesn't work anymore...

    Nothing has changed for folders or shares. Actions are like:

    \\fs01\scans\IT

    Shared folder is \\fs01\scans

    Share permissions are full for everyone

    On the COMPUTER folder, only the service and the Canon scanner user have full conrol...

    When I turn off the firewall of Windows on the FS01, it works.

    Can I get a SMB = OK on the Multi functional.

    When I turn on the WIndows firewall, I get a SMB = NG on the multifuntional

    I checked the rules and everthing about file and printer sharing is allowed...

    Can someone please think about what to do?
    Because really don't want to go with Windows Firewall disabled.

    The Endpoint Protection 2010 Anti Virus is installed on the FS01, but given that disabling the Windows Firewall works, I don't think that the Anti Virus has nothing to do with it.

    Update: I tried two other servers 2008 R2 (with also the Windows Firewall on) and it works! So there's something wrong with this one server... But as far as I can see, the firewall has all the file and open sharing of printers of things... And when I connect with the Canon Scan on a PC user I can browse places very well.

  • The MS window update Portal is now faster and better

    Hello

    Thank you for the upgrade of the Portal window update.

    I have recently reinstall my Win XP and found that the cumulative update takes less time to complete. I really appreciate the ability of this new software that is capable of downloading the update up to 120 at the same trial. It also requires fewer to reboot the PC to complete the remaining update.

    I hope that the methodology can be applied to all windows.

    Much appreciate if MS could continue to improve the program of the window so that it can be more effective at cumulative updates

    Thank you

  • Is it ok to remove the old Windows updates as I have many of them take a lot of disk space?

    I have several updates of microsoft for a few years. I am auto update, but all the old updates are still there. Is it necessary to keep or to delete to free up space. I get warnings that the computer is low on virtual memory.

    original title: is it OK to remove the old windows updates as I have many of them taking place?

    Virtual memory is used only when your physical memory has been exhausted.  This happens usually either when you have not restarted recently, or when you have too many programs running at the same time.  I suggest you reboot at least once a week and if it continues to happen, a purchase more RAM.

    Hello

    You do not remove the "old" Windows updates.

    If you do, you lose the performance and the improvements in security that they give and you put your computer at risk of breaking or be infected by malware...

    I installed the last set of updates to the window and it caused my Bluetooth to stop working.  Reinstalled drivers from the dell website and it still does not work.

    Are you set for Important updates only (which is recommended)?  If not, was an updated device driver?  It is best not to let Windows Update process device drivers.
    If you cannot reduce it any other way, you can try to install the updates again one at a time.  I have not heard about recent blue tooth switn of the problems Windows updates recently.

    " Original title: blocked internet access"

    Hi Eugene,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. What is the type of internet connection you use - wired or wireless?
    2. Do you get any error message when there is no internet access?
    3. What is the number of KB of the update, after which the internet disconnects?

    [To view your history of update:]
    a. Open Windows Update by sliding into the right edge of the screen (or, if you are using a mouse, pointing to the corner bottom right of the screen, move the mouse upward), touching or clicking on parameters, typing or clicking on Change PC, then type or by clicking on update and recovery.
    [ b. press or click on see your update history.]

    The question could arise if the specific update makes changes in the Windows network properties and the update package has been damaged. Other important reasons include the firewall from the security software, third-party software conflicts etc.

    In order to diagnose the problem, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Method 1: Troubleshooting of connection Internet run.

    a. press the Windows key + W key on the keyboard.

    b. type Troubleshooting in the "search" tab and press enter.

    c. click show all on the left panel.

    d. click on Internet connection, will new popup window.

    e. follow the instructions on the screen.

     

    Let us know the results performing the Troubleshoot utility.

    Method 2:

    Reset the DNS and TCP/IP settings.

    1. Press the Windows key + X.
    2. Click prompt (Admin).
    3. Please enter the following commands and press ENTER after each one.
      NETSH INT IP RESET
      IPCONFIG/FLUSHDNS

    Restart the computer to check the issue.

    If the problem persists, refer to the following method.

    Method 3:

    Temporarily disable the security software and check if it helps.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most

    cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
