You have a process in SVCHOST that is for lack of a better word stuck. This is most likey due to a recent MSFT patch that you got through windows update automatically. Easiest fix is to do a system restore and let the machine repatch itself. The patch in question isn’t installing properly and is causeing one of the system process’s under an SVCHost instance to take up more and more resources. ---

They all have their good and bad points. I’ve been doing this stuff for a long time and I could care less. MSFT integration across the product line is very good and most of the time meets the customer need with the least headaches. ---

To be honest I don’t know exactly which KB is associated with the issue. I pushed out over 20 patches in a short span of time and never botherd to pin down which one it was. I just restored the three machines that exibited the problem and let them do the recent patches in smaller groups. You can use process explorer to try and pin it down but I was never easily able to find a process/patch match. In the end I had to much to do so I just retored them to an earlier state. Hell it could have been caused by a combination of patches overwriting the same file at the same time or something. ---

The process that was causing the problem was windows update wuaclt.exe or sometihng like that. FYI ---
