Hi Frustrated - This appears to be working for all those that have tried itEverytime autoupdate kicked in on my machine svchost.exe pegged CPU
so far. This post is intended for a wide variety of user experience.
How knowledgable about doing things are you? Do you know how to start and
stop services? How to run a .cmd file? If not, you'll need access to
someone who does to avoid problems.
The following assumes you're on Windows XP but will probably work OK for
Win2k as well. If you're confident about what you're doing, then try the
following first - only if it doesn't work, then there's another level of
stuff that can be done following:
1. Stop and Disable Automatic Updates, Background Intelligent Transfer
Service and the Cryptographic Service.
2. Rename the folder %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution to
%SystemRoot%\OldSoftwareDistribution
3. Open Notepad and create a file containing the following:
REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
REGSVR32 ATL.DLL
REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL
REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL
Save this file as 'Wudll.cmd' (without the quotes) to any convenient
location then exit Notepad and double click on the file you just saved. You
should get a 'Sucess' mesage for each of the .dll's listed above.
4. Now Re-enable to Automatic status and then Start each of the services
you stopped before - Automatic Updates, Background Intelligent Transfer
Service and the Cryptographic Service.
5. Now Reboot. Now Reboot Again. (Yes, twice.)
See if that solves it - give it a couple of days. If so, then you can
delete 'OldSoftwareDistribution'. I would request that you post back with
your results. _Only if the problem does re-occur_, then do the following
_exactly_:
1. Go to http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix and download Dial-a-fix
v0.60.0.24 (2006-10-27) Here's a direct download link:
http://djlizard.net.nyud.net:8080/software/Dial-a-fix-v0.60.0.24.zip and a
secondary: http://djlizard.net/software/Dial-a-fix-v0.60.0.24.zip from
that page's download section, here:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix#Mirrors.2Fdownload_locations.2C_and_articles .
2. Unzip it to a new folder at root with any name, e.g.
c:\Dial-a-fix-v0.60.0.24
3. Double click on Dial-a-fix.exe in that folder.
4. Click on the following:
Options/tooltips (just to get an idea of what it does in each section.
:) )
Both boxes under Prep
The 'all' (top) box for Sections 2, 3 and 4 (which will automatically
be set when you check 3)
In Section 5, 'Programming cores/runtimes' and
'Explorer/IE/OE/shell/WMP' only.
Click 'Go' . (Some of the re-registrations may take what seems like a
long time for some .dll's - Don't be impatient.)
5. Reboot (if Dial-a-fix doesn't do it automatically at the end). Now
Reboot Again. (Yes, twice.)
See if that does the trick, and, again please post back with your
experience.
MS is well aware of the problem and has provided privately two different
responses concerning a fix:
"I regret to say that I was told that this known issue requires too much
change to be implemented in a hotfix. A change will instead be implemented
in the next Automatic Updates client, which we are planning to release in Q2
this year."
"According to the feedback from Product Development team, this fix will be
published as a security update on the Windows Update site and the relevant
KB article will also be released by us. Therefore, we just need to keep the
system on the network up to date. In addition, the Product Development team
also indicates that the WSUS 3.0 client may contain this patch if this fix
can released timely. At that moment, we can also attempt to upgrade to the
WSUS client 3.0 to test the issue."
I'm told that the RTW (Release to Web) version of WSUS 3.0 will be published
on 30th Apr.

I have attempted, for several days to resolve the issue related to windows update
utilization @ 100%. MS patch did not resolve the issue; however the
information in your posting did. Thanks again
