Before I try that, are there any negative consequences?
No. If there were, I'd have mentioned it.
BTW, one thing I tried was opting-out of MS updates. Running just
Windows Update cured the problem entirely
Well, yes: the problem involves Automatic Updates (AU). If you disable AU,
the problem will go away. I wouldn't do that, though.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I still have AU on but I changed from MU to
WU and AU uses the same settings. Now when I boot up, wuauctl starts
but never goes over 20% CPU and that high only for a second or two.
...also, when running from
thw WUpd website, it finds updates in about 90 seconds instead of the
usual 8 minutes MSUpd takes.
Known behavior. MU is searching for updates for Windows and Office; WU only
searches for updates for Windows.
Right. Thanks.
