I have a laptop, IBM T-60 with Windows XP, SP2 that has been nonresponsive
after startup.
On further investigation, I found that svchost is at 100% CPU, with
wuaueng.dll being the actual culprit. If I let this service continue to run,
it peaks out at around 3.5 to 4 Gb of disk I/O read bytes.
I have tried several of the published fixes for this, stopping the service,
renaming or erasing the folder, etc. but it keeps coming back with the same
problem.
Is there a way to kill this without damaging the system?
