Update problem wauserv eating 50% cpu can't change updates settings

Okay,
Can you verify if you have KB3112343 installed.

Okay I would I guess uninstall this one if you have it,

Thank you, will that allow to change settings in win updates? Why do you think it is saying some settings can only be changed by admin since I am the admin already?

Those settings are nothing to do with you being "admin" - they are Group Policy Settings that take precedence.

If you want to delete those keys - export them first so that you've got backup in case it doesn't work as expected. Right click each key and export.

What is with the wuauserv taking up 50 percent of my CPU? Will deleting as instructed above help solve this?

Deleting those keys will not solve the high RAM usage problem. That's down to read/ write issues with datastore.edb and also possible problems with a faulty WUC. There may also be problem updates in your software distribution download folder.

Okay forget what I have posted. It's a fresh install right?

KB 2990214 - Apr 2015 - WUC: enables ability to upgrade to Win10

KB 2990214 is a known to cause problems after installing SP1

ThrashZone should be able to help you with that.

I deleted the datastore edb and now updates show up!!

Why did you do that? Well anyway I suppose that you can download updates but it's likely you will have further problems. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Not really I would of used media with sp1 already on it :)
