Svchost 100% Windows Update the cause
From my own post about my problem after taking the post similar here.
I have a Panasonic Toughbook, running Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, Version 2002, Service Pack 3. I use Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus. This toughbook gets used to work.
Noticed the last time I turned it on it, he crawled and was unusable. Today I spent some time with it and noticed the process svchost.exe takes 99% CPU. I have narrowed it down to the service of automatic updates which is the cause and I was also impossible to obtain updates through Windows Update with the right bar from green back and forth endless progression.
First of all, in the Windows Task Manager, I've selected display, select columns and checked the PID (process identifier). It showed me which instance of svchost was using all of the CPU, PID 1060 (although this PID is probably different on different machines)
Secondly, I opened a command prompt and ran: tasklist/SVC
In the list, I looked at used 1060 PID and invalidates them one at a time by services.msc services
Disabling automatic updates service immediately set the svchost using all CPUS.
Recheck the tasklist/SVC watch the wuauserv (automatic update service) was the only service missing PID 1060 for the svchost problem.
I think I found the solution at the moment. I was brought to him a post on another forum.
The solution was to install the last update of security for IE8 (KB2879017). You can find and download at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40390.
