I have never had any problems with Windows Automatic up-dates before , but in the last month, the auto up-date process has suddenly started eating so much of my RAM that my computer becomes non-responsive. I didn't know what was causing the memory usage problem at 1st , but when I disabled Windows Automatic up-date the problem stopped. Windows Auto up-date would start to eat up memory when I brought my computer out of Standby or after a system re-start. Does anyone have any ideas why Windows Auto up-date would suddenly start to eat up all of my memory ? My system is a Win XP Pro SP3 computer . Thanks.
