• Windows Update Service consume 100% of load on a kernel (Windwos 7)

  Hello

  This Monday week Windows update service (wuauserv) is constantly consuming 100% of load with one heart. The system is completely updated, all the updates are applied. I know that Windows update is generally the software kind of crap (sorry guys, but there are a lot of things to improve) and usually consumes CPU high for a long time just check the updates (installation also last very long), but this time he keeps everything simply.

  Restaring the service did not help. Restart does not help either. I tried to re - install all the com - dll, restarted the service,... nothing helps. Then I tried to apply the tool but this Fixit tool seems to be "smart" enough and starts the wuauserv service in order to detect problems--> same charge again.

  My system is Windows 7-64 and is usually very fast (Core - I 7, 2.6 GHz, 8 GB of Ram, 512 GB SSD) is NOT the PC.

  Thank you
