The problem is that after my computer is logged on all of a sudden svchost jumps to 100% for about 7-12 min after much research i have discovered that the service within the svchost is wuauserv which is the windows update auto update service. When i disable the service i have no problems. I however can not keep this disable (not by choice) This computer is on a network that forces the service on through group policy. has anyone seen this before and have any ideas how to fix this problem. My computer is not the only one on the network having this issue. we have two others that i am aware of .
