wuauserv service using CPU without updating

UPDATE: One of the links I put in my document to your site gave me this link for some reason.
Windows Update Posting Instructions
I guess it's because I'm logged in here now. I shall follow it for now to see if it has some super detailed, step by step solution to solving Windows updates for my specific computer solution.

Greetings, everyone.

After years of coming here in the pursuit of Windows solutions, I decided to create an account as I am at a point of no resolution. It's a bit of read and ramble, but I hope that it gives some relevant information that may lead up to this terror I face.

For those who can't take the take the time to read it, the tldr version is this.

The service, wuauserv, located in one of my scvhost.exe instance will use 1/4 of my processor for X amount if time whether or not I click to search for updates. During this time, there are no harddrive read/writes from the process. For some reason, it's now stopped but I have no updates to perform. Here's a picture.



The yellow part peaks at about 1.8 GB, down to 1 GB and then down to almost nothing when it finally stopped. I've checked various solutions. You can read about that in the Google Doc. Basically I am at a point of self defeat.

I cannot get updates even though I know more are there but not given.
I cannot keep service wuauserv disabled.
wuauserv will use CPU even if updates are turned completely off.

I've basically lost control of Windows here. I suppose I could ignore it and play my games since my CPU can handle the quarter use, but this sucks. Nothing solves the problem.

Thank you for your merciful assistance. I would not come here unless I had exhausted myself to a point of nearly utter defeat.

I think you should be able to cancel the log in as I've tested it in private browser sessions. Right now I'm running that 500 MB something download and it asked if I wanted to install KB947821. Thank you so much for responding. You don't know what it means to talk in nearly real time with a person about this insanity. A hotfix is currently processing in what looks to be like an old style Wxp version of Windows Update. I feel like I'm almost out of the woods here and will check back often.

EDIT: It's beautiful. They should have sent a poet.
