    svchost is consuming 60% of Ram....


    On start up,70% of ram is being used by my system.From taskmanager,i came to know that one of svchost processes(svchost processes->go to services->windows update) is comsuming app.1.5gb of ram.I came to know that windows update service "WUAUSERV" is causing trouble.I made startup type disabled and made service stopped.
    Upon startup,this service is automatically started(this time startup type is manual) making me to repeat same thing.Is there any way to permanently disable this service so that it wont bother me again?

    Hi,
    Well you'd need to change your windows update settings temporarily until it stops,
    You should be able to switch to these settings,
    Go to windows update window,
    On the top left click on change settings,
    After you change the settings and Save changes
    Restart your computer.
    Click Start and Restart.

    thanks mr thrashzone,but i got frustated and changed these setting to "never check for updates" before starting my thread(coz of RAM memory).All i have mentioned in the thread is after changing these settings....what i have done before starting this thread is...
    1.selected to never check for updates in windows update.
    2.Disabled windows update service from list of services(start up type disabled)
    Upon system restart this option is automatically changed to startup type "Manual" without my interference.
    Did u get it mr thrashzone?
