svchost.exe using 100% cpu when running Microsoft Updates Friday, February 23, 2007 at 7:09 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by David Karwowski (104 messages posted) Hi, I've been searching all over for an answer to this. I did a clean install today, Windows XP Pro, and installed everything. All was running smoothly until the stupid svchost.exe used 100% cpu, slowed down my computer, and made microsoft update not work. I tried everything, including that patch microsoft released a few days ago, but nothing works! Hopefully someone can help me.
