Hi,Here's a few things I tried.
I have been suffering the same problem. Not only does it take a long time,
but svchost uses up to 98% of CPU utilization, ensuring you can do nothing
else for that time.
Also, I have three PCs connected through the same Internet connection and
only one of them suffers this problem. I have had to turn off automatic
updates to stop it from randomly hogging my CPU. But every time I use MS
Update or Windows Update on this PC, the same thing happens every time.
If it IS the way it is supposed to work, it is a very poor piece of
engineering and needs to be fixed. (No app should hog 98% of CPU). But as
this delay does not happen on all PCs it would indicate that there is another
problem somewhere.
I'd certainly like to hear from anyone who has been able to overcome this
issue.
Cheers, Steve A
First I ran an ie6 repair. Didn't do anything that I
could detect.
Next I ran SFC /SCANNOW. This process restored
the "proper" version of a couple of files, 'cause their
digital signatures were wrong.
When I tried ie6/tools/WU/express again, it
recommended I apply the sp4 rollup 1
(I'm using windows 2000) and some other ie6 security
fix which I had installed ages ago... Apparently, the files
restored by SFC /scannow had regressed something.
Before downloading those updates, I opened up a CMD
box and ran qfecheck.. This told me that 5 or 6 fixes
should be reapplied.
I downloaded and installed the fixes suggrested by WU,
installed and rebooted. Windows update/express still takes
a while, but it seems quicker than before. About 1 1/2 - 2
minutes.
Oh before I forget, I also did the ntfs permissions as suggested by
this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909444/en-us
My permissions were wrong (can't hurt).
Something for you to check !
Dave
