Also my reasoning for posting here is I have about 10 machines that
started doing this 2 weeks ago.

But here's the thing, an MVP has not come along and explained this. So
my thoughts would conclude that the great evil empire is doing
something behind our backs. Hum maybe like forcing windows genuine
advantage on us?
The further we go the more I think that computers as we know them are
doomed. MS is mostly crap. And most linuxes are following in their
footsteps. Yea for MAC...

Evening Folks:..Just noticed something of interest in the 'MIcrosoft
Update'
site, one can now go in and "Change Settings", which allows one to just
scan
and get updates for Windows [the old way !] and forget about updates
for all
the other Microsoft Software programs, which require updates much less
frequently, this will free up a pile of CPU usage at Boot as each and
every
time one' boot's up', you'll only be checking for Windows patches not
the
whole shooting match....Have to check off the change however if one
wants to
go this way !! McDoogie

Hey BuRford,
i had the same problem just 1 hour ago, but i think i've found the
reason now.
At first i had disabled all network-devices and tried a lot to solve
the
problem, but nothing brought the excepted result.
You wrote that you have checked your PC with NOD32 ... just try to
uninstall
it.
Don't know why, but it works (on my PC) ...

when I
downloaded the "Microsoft Update" feature in lieu of 'Windows
Update' site !
After all systems were booted up and stable [NAV, Zone Alarm, etc.]
I have
had to wait as long as 4 minutes while SVCHost.exe robbed the CPU
running at
70 to 75% usage all the while no other access was possible as total
CPU Usage
was always 100% while SCVHost was running. Disabled the
Microsoft/Windows
Update feature alltogether and success, I now have my PC back
running the way
it used to ! ...NOW, is somebody going to wake up on the west coast
out there
and fix this problem, or, shall we all just run our systems without
knowing
if we are up todate with the latest patches, etc. ??

Hi - - Over the past month, I've noticed some strange behavior
after my first bootup of
the day... about 30 secs - a minute after bootup, wuauclt.exe
starts, then shortly after
wmiprvse.exe starts.
My CPU spikes to 99%, and everything hangs. One entry of svchost
spikes to
99% CPU usage. Then after 30 seconds or so, all goes back to
normal. This is the only
time it happens. If I bootup later in the day, all's cool...
only happens first bootup of
the day.
If I disable WU, all is cool.
The only connections that open are to windows update, during this
lag.
As far as I can tell, I've scanned with my AV (NOD32), Outpost
Firewall anti-spyware
plug-in, Spybot, Adaware, Spycop, and Unhackme... my system is
clean.
I don't know if this has any relevance: In my wmiprov.log I'll
get an entry "WDM call
returned error: 4200."
In wbemess.log, I get five entries of "NT Event Log Consumer:
could not retrieve sid,
0x80041002."
Nothing abnormal shows up in the System or Application entries of
EVENT VIEWER.
No other abnormal behavior or errors ever... if I wait a minute
or two after bootup, and
do nothing, then I have no problems.
I'm running XP sp2, on an AMD Athlon XP 1800, with 768MB RAM.
Right now, I have WU disabled, but I'd prefer to be notified when
Anyone have any idea what might be going on, or where I can look
on my system to
troubleshoot this? Anywhere I can find out what is using
SVCHOST?
Any help is appreciated... thanks!
Just got back from a service call on the job and ran into this issue. I tried everything, corporate virus scan, spyware, network drivers, reinstalling IE, etc. I noticed on this system, it only happened on the intial startup of IE. Not sure if it was mentioned before, but I found this through using the sys internals process explorer which listed the good ol windows updater running below the svc host. After killing the svc host process, the internet and system ran perfect. I disabled the windows update throught the registry hkey local machine\software\microsoft\windows\policies\windows update and through the startup services using msconfig, but the svchost still hangs. I know our network pushes windows updates, but I thought disabling the service and registry would fix, nope. Im going to try uninstalling windows unintelligent background screw up service to see if this fixes the issue, will write again if it does.
