This issue has only started recently.
A number of Servers will have their CPU spike and on checking, svchost.exe has got hold of it. On checking wuauserv is listed in the tasklist /svc search.
If you stop automatic updates service on the server is question, the cpu goes back to normal.
Nothing has changed so why has this suddenly started happening?
