Windows XP locks up upon logon after Automatic Update Thursday, December 5, 2002 at 8:31 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Andrew W. Huppert (2 messages posted) I recently performed the automatic update on my PC and I don't believe it actually got out because my firewall did not allow the connection. I was working for about 2 hours and I finally rebooted the machine. After I logged on I noticed that the task tray was not populating so I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and discovered that everything was running, but SVCHOST.EXE was using 50% CPU and TCPSVCS.EXE was using the other 50%. The computer sits like this for hours, but finally returns to normal... however, I can not pull and IP address. Any suggestions?
