svchost.exe 100 %

[charlesamorin]

Hi everybody.
I got a problem... since 2-3 weeks when the update are done, the
computer froze. It looks like it still downloading / installing the
update but its not doing anything. When I go look in the process tab,
svchost.exe is at 100 % I don't know what is the cause to this
problem. The only thing that I found out that help a bit is to stop
the automatic update services and register some dll (regsvr32
wuaupi.dll ... ) and rename the folder software distribution to
software distribution_old

I must not be the only one that happened ? Can anyone help me with
this anoying problem ?
Thanks for all you help.

- Grab the WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe and install it...
(Save it to your computer, close all open porgrams, run it from where you
saved it.)
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

- Reboot

- Grab and install WindowsXP-KB927891-v3-x86-ENU.exe.
(Save it to your computer, close all open porgrams, run it from where you
saved it.)

- Reboot

You likely have plain old Windows XP - 32 bit... not x64.

(First try the steps posted May 4th at the beginning of the article.)

Workaround: Change the default from Microsoft Update to Windows Update: Go
to Microsoft Update > Click on Change Settings in left pane > Scroll to
bottom of page > To Stop Using Microsoft Update > Disable Microsoft Update
software and let me use Windows Update only (check). cf.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/901037

With Windows Update as your default, you will need to check in at Office
Update to keep your Office applications fully patched:
