joll69 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 how long did u give the update scanner? i've seen one svchost.exe instance saturate cpu utilization for 2-3 minutes when checking for updates...a look on sysinternals' process xp tool says that instance of svchost is the automatic updates service....in my case, all i did was let the stupid thing take its time, and after about 3 minutes, i have the list of available updates (like usual), svchost drops to 0% cpu, and everything seems peachy...i did notice that if i killed the svchost that was taking so much cpu time, several other services stopped..they could be restarted manually, but the system seemed generally unstable until a reboot....no bluescreens, just services randomly stopping and/or restarting....
