svchost.exe running at 100%

[ProviderReborn]

Each time I disconnect from the internet/dial up I get my svchost.exe running at 100% for 5 minutes. Until then I cannot use my laptop. Any one know why this would be?

Run and see what process is running within svchost.exe


that should narrow it down for you

Right ok. So I managed to find what was doing it.
I am a telephony engineer by trade and we use an ISDN modem to dial into do diagnostics.
Each time I dial in I loose internet access as I have to assign an IP Address to my dial in.

Any hows its was when I disconnect from what ever I was doing.
It was something to do with windows update. Its turned off and all is now hunky dory.

FYI in case any one has this problem.

FIX: When you run Windows Update to scan for updates that use Windows Installer, including Office updates, CPU utilization may reach 100 percent for prolonged periods

Any way to calm the Windows update client?
