leoliver Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 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.

Sp0iLedBrAt Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Don't know why, but I can say the same about Microsoft Update. svchost.exe takes 150MB of RAM, wuaulct.exe is also demanding, and there are 4 or 5 instances of iexplore.exe. Let alone the fact that I receive errors all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooms Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Disable auto updates service then enable it and do an update once per month; like the second tesday for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
