Slow/svchost.exe constantly running Windows updates.

• CPU ankles 95-99% stuck on svchost.exe after that Windows update Nov 12 patches to not install

  Automatic update of Windows was put on 'On' on the morning of November 13, 2013, when I received the notice of Microsoft system tray that updates of Windows patches were ready to be installed on my computer (XP sp3, IE8, MSE).

  Updates proceeds to installation with the updated bars before the normal close.

  Updates is apparently blocked at the first update. I let it run for about 15 minutes before I made a hard stop. I thought that maybe I had lost to the Internet because the update seemed stuck on the first and took too much time, it seemed.

  Next start, computer slows almost stopped after a few minutes.

  Guilty is svchost.exe SYSTEM alternating between 95 and 99% of my system resources. I turn it off and computer returned to normal.

  Has done research on the web, stop automatic updates and processor svchost problem disappeared, unless I went to Microsoft updates and svchost.exe Web page re - would seem to consume almost all of the CPU resources while bars update Microsoft constantly scanned my system for the latest upgrades necessary.

  Spending a day to try various fixes posted on the internet. A Microsoft Fixit said that he there had errors in the update and fixed all but one saying registration number was bad (said he couldn't fix that). Despite everything, still the same problem.

  On the same day, an error was unable to update the definitions of virus on MSE, but for some reason, the next day (14) updated crossed.

  Update: some progress: I leave svchost cogitate on the webpage update from Ms. After about 1/2 hour, the updated hotfix list showed. I tried to install it, but not updates managed to install. I am currently re - try, as suggested on the Web page.

  Also tried the command "net stop" method mentioned in several places, as a tool of Malewarebytes Anti-Root running. Nothing.

  Tried the fix for IE8 security as suggested, nothing.

  Tried system restore, but I must have something wrongly configured with it because it was not able to restore any earlier date, I took. Bad luck.

  Never had a big problem with my set-up in all the years I've been running XP sp3, until now.

  Next thing I'll try is Park on the side of Windows Update for an hour or two, with the idea that maybe my processor is in need of more time to digest something.

  I see that others have had this problem, but not necessarily with patch release on November 12.

  UPDATE: some progress, perhaps. 1/2 hour parked page update of Windows, with SVChost churning away, and I got a list of patches. I tried to install, but all of them failed to install. I try a re - install, as suggested.

  Let me propose a summary of how to fix the MSE / Windows Update problem and the svchost problem:

  1st thing to do is to disable the automatic updates window. This will keep your computer against svchost.exe freeze for now.

  2nd, follow the instructions in Xircal to check that you have "BITS" listed in your list of "services". Correct it if not.

  3rd, IE remove it from your list of programs, and then reinstall it, making your first update of the IE rollup, as suggested previously.

  That he "should" do and you can activate the automatic updates on svchost.exe should return to normal. Proceed with the update of Windows and MSE as usual.

• Error 80072efe when you try to run Windows Update (computers)

  In the last week or so, Windows updates have begun failing on our computers to Vista. Sometimes it will work. If there are no updates, there is no difficulty to install. Error # is always the same. Here is a text of the passage of a WindowsUpdate.log:

  An interesting sidenote, if we try to navigate to update.microsoft.com in a browser, after a long break, we get a banner at the top of Microsoft, and three empty frames all display connection errors.

  We tried different DNS servers, we bypassed the firewall, we tried all possible parameters in the network configuration of PCs, we tried to define the parameters of Internet security at the lowest level possible.
  At this point, I'm fresh out of ideas.

  Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?

• Vista 64 SP2: when you run windows update, trustedinstaller takes 100% of one of the drivers for more than 20 minutes

  I recently bought a new computer, when I run Windows Update there is a process called TrustedInstaller.exe, taking 100% of one of the cores for a very long time (> 20 minutes).

  I have vista 64 SP2 and all updates installed (took me over 3 days to complete).

  Also, when I try to install additional features of windows (for example. IIS) the same thing happens, trusteinstaller takes 100% of the base and install new features forever.

  I have not installed additional software so far is very little probable that a virus or spyware is the cause. When I'm not updating the an or install features of windows, the computer running quickly and the cpu load is not high at all.

  How long was the computer connected to the internet before you installed Avast?

  Can update you Avast manually?

  The above, see if a reset fixes the problem:

• Need to run Windows Update online

  Please note:
  I chose the 'Windows Vista' forum, but the link to this forum.  Please move my question to the right place.  Thank you!
  ========================================
  I need to run Windows Update to www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/vistadefault.aspx instead of from the Panel.  Can I disable the "automatic" version, or is there another way to go beyond this?

  The problem is that my ISP limits the size of downloads of the day, unless I have download only for a certain period of time during the night.  I can't afford to have my computer slow down to dial-up speed during the day below, and since I don't want to give general approval of Windows Update to download and install, I can not limit his schedule.

  Thank you in advance.

• How to run Windows update for Win XP SP3 using Firefox

  My desktop PC computer running windows XP with SP3. My spouse uses IE 8 for its browser. I use Firefox Version 24. for my browser. Previously, whenever we ran MS or Windows update it starts IE and works very well. IE 8 blew up and does more (execution errors). I tried to go to the site to update Windows using Firefox and he came back and told me that I had to use IE to launch Win update on an XP system. Is this true? I don't want to use IE at all. Is it possible to use Firefox to run Windows or MS update on my Win XP system? Thank you.

  You cannot run windows update using Firefox because it uses controls ActiveX Firefox is not (and will never). Yes, then unfortunately use IE for Windows update.

  Hi Chris,

  Sudden power thresholds are usually a sign of overheating. I suggest that you try to clean the radiator of CPU of any accumulation of debris (a hose of vacuum cleaner against the aspiration air grills is a good way).

• Error 80072EFE when you run Windows Update on Win7 so wireless

  You try to run Windows update on a new laptop from Toshiba with Windows 7 installed and a good wireless connection to a router I get error 80072EFE rather than a list of updates. If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine. I can then unplug the router and download updates more wireless.

  Initially I was running tried to reinstall as 32-bit, 64-bit Win7, but made no difference. Tried to update after I just installed Win7 before Norton and other applications on. Contacted Belkin and they gave me a checklist of the router to do, but not better. Someone at - it ideas? The problem is reproducible even with Norton and other installed applications. If you connect the router updates Windows detects the updates to install. If you work with wireless it gets error 80072EFE.

  Phil

  If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine.

  Until you get your wireless connection problems straightened, run your manually check updates when you are connected to the router.
