Windows Update svchost high CPU and RAM usage
Howdy all! As the title suggests, I am having issues with windows update.
It started only two weeks ago, when I started up and my CPU monitor said something was running high. After trial and error, I found if I stopped the Windows Updater service, the system went back to normal.
Right now it's taking 13%-20% CPU and 2GB of memory when the updater is active.
I've tried all the suggested fixes from the other threads: reinstalled KB3102810, ran sfc scannow (log attached...but in RAR version, ZIP version was 110MB). I've tried running updates and restoring hidden updates. I can access Windows Update, and it displays one recommended and 2 optional updates to install, but when I try to install those updates, Windows Update just hangs at the downloading updates status (0% downloaded after 24 hours). I ran the SURT, it crashed my system after an hour...ran out of memory...
Suggestions?
