Re: Windows update 100% cpu at every boot killing me

This post has been most helpful. This is the 10th SVCHOST.EXE problem I've
fought and it usually takes 4 hours. (could have reinstalled windows but I
love chasing them down)

you're right. when is microsoft going to get this fixed... it's painful.

SVCHOST.EXE 100% windows update

Re: Windows update 100% cpu at every boot killing me

Look, I know you are excited to being a microsoft puppy but you need to lay
off the kool-aid for a few minutes. Were all sick and tired of you MS ***
braggarts making ridiculous statements about issues people are experiencing.

This is a HUGE problem regarding windows update. It isn't "hijackware"
infection but piss poor programming on microsofts end.

Think about the above before putting the straw back in your peep hole Shep.
