The slowness is attributed to the WUPDATE.EXE causing 100% CPU utilization.
It shows as SVCHOST.EXE causing the high CPU but the WUPDATE.EXE thread is
what's causing the SVCHOST.EXE to spike. Disable the Automatic Updates and
it will return to normal. When there are new updates, just run it manually.
Trust me, I have been pissed about this too but I found it running CPU
Watcher.

At this time I think buying Windows XP Prof. was a waste of money and
TIME!
Since the purchase (complete system) it took me one month and a half to
get
all software running without conflicts. A short moment of joy, as
everything
was running fast, stable and surfing on the net was faster than ever.
But then... an automatic update f####d the system.
Booting ok, but as soon as internet connection is made, everything is a
drag.
Surfing is no fun anymore, as it sometimes takes more than a minute just
to
open a website.
Restoring to a point prior to the update is useless, no matter how far in
history I go back. I guess some systemfiles were overwritten.
This really s###s.
I tried to seek answers to the problem on the net (with mmmmmmuch
patience),
but none found.
Thanks a lot Microsoft.
Where can I find software that (actually) finds and repairs errors in my
Windows XP prof. system?

working;

More things are happening I guess roll back the install, and say here OK

I have Windows XP Pro. For the past few weeks, Microsoft updates have
been
causing me serious problems. Today, RegSeeker quit working right after
I
downloaded and installed the new Microsoft updates. I did a system
restore
to a restore point that I created prior to installing the updates and
RegSeeker worked fine again.
Two weeks ago, the updates caused my pc to not fully boot. I had to
boot
into Safe Mode and uninstall the updates and my pc worked fine again.
Last week the updates caused my pc to drag along as if it were 15 yrs
old
and everything was choppy. I did another system restore to a point
prior to
the updates being installed and my pc worked fine again.
Today the new updates that I downloaded and installed caused RegSeeker
to
stop working and maybe other programs wouldn't have worked, but I
didn't try
to run any others to see. If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to
spend
today getting my pc in shape, which included running RegSeeker, I
wouldn't
have known that today's updates caused program(s) to stop working and
it
might have been too late for me to do a System Restore in a few weeks
because
all restore points prior to today would no longer have been in my pc.
What's going on with Microsoft's updates? All they're causing is
serious
problems for me! I have a registered version of Windows so I shouldn't
have
any problems with the updates.
