Apologies for posting here. Posting in the windowsupdate group resulted in
the thread
being hijacked by others with the same issue but offering no solutions.
Trying here as I have had success with this group in the past
Just started suddenly. May have been triggered by auto update trying to
download but stayed at 0% download.
Around this time the trouble seemed to start.
If auto update is turned on windows & menus freeze. CPU usage hovers around
100%. Seems ok if auto update is turned off.
If I try to update manually IE's window freezes with just the scrolling
progress bar moving.
If I try to close the window it sometimes closes but after a number of
minutes.
svhost.exe shows 99% during these freezes.
Even tried rolling back Windows a few days but this did nothing. This was
before I realised what I think is causing the issue.
Nothing has been changed or programs installed for some time.
XP Pro SP2
Any ideas anyone?
