Automatic Update Notification CPU Hog?
Recently the XP laptop has been 100% CPU burning
for about 10 minutes at a time, I think when automatic updates are checking for updates and finds that updates exist. I opt only for notification, which in fact happens. But about twice a day svchost.exe goes into this insane CPU loop until I install them (so there are no new updates again). Is it doing some horrible quadratic search of a log of installed updates? If so can I delete this log or trim it? Something else? At the moment I'm trying turning off notification entirely. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

Automatic Update Notification CPU Hog?
This is happening to many XP users. Yes, disable Windows/MS Updates to
make it stop. Manually check updates every second and fourth Tuesday of each month.
