wuauserv uses over 2GB of RAM, how to solve it?

Hi,
This is a little cleaner description
Make sure and go to Uninstall a program and see which Microsoft Net framework you have installed,
4.5.2 is the most consistent to have installed,
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=42642

Switch your windows update setting to Never check for updates temporarily
Restart the machine
You can try and install the newest update client manually leave your update settings at Never check for updates until you install this,
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3138612

Then download this to your downloads folder to run it from there,
https://technet.microsoft.com/librar...or=-2147217396

Download the x86 for 32 bit system or x64 for a 64 bit system

Install it and restart when prompted too after it does a stand alone search for updates which shouldn't take too long it took all of 5 seconds "If" the windows update settings are switched to Never check for updates before running it from the downloads folder.

Once it installs and restarts
You can reset your updates setting to whatever you had prior = Default....
Then manually check for updates.

Yes, I did all that precisely by the step you mentioned, but still checking for update never gets finished. Currently I'm trying wsusoffline, hope this works, if it fails too, there are only two option left for me.

The CBS log is showing an error on a IE language pack update.
Did the comp originally come with Indonesian as the base language?, and is the re-install media for the same language.
How many language packs installed?

Hi,
See if you can install this,
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971033

Just so your update settings is set to never check for updates the stand alone installer should not conflict with the update client already installed.

Check to see if this one is installed
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3112343

Use winkey+R
Type in the Run box,
eventvwr
Windows logs on the left column and expanded them and right click and click on clear on the 4 entries below,
Applications
Security
Setup
System
Exit and restart the machine again

Uninstall this update if it ever installed,
Download it again and use Save as and download it to your downloads folder and run it from there without an internet connection
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3138612

Hi,
I can install 971033 successfully, and I don't have 3112343 installed, should I install it? Well I installed it anyway and nothing happened, wuauserv still stuck so I restored using system restore. As for 3138612 I already installed it without internet connection, I think it's the one that solved over 2GB of RAM usage problem (after it was installed RAM usage never exceed 500MB), but the excessive CPU usage isn't solved.

Hello,
Ah that's a good information. No, the PC comes with english language, I installed the language pack from here, actually that is the very first thing I did after installation, even before installing driver etc. I only installed Indonesian, is there a connection between LIP and WU to cause trouble?

There are routines within windows update that require the original core language pack to be in place when you update for the "first" time, the language pack install, (as its optional) in this first update run will be one of the final updates of the process if your first update action was to remove the core language, you will encounter problems

What language packs are you running please.

It's Indonesian, does language pack has something to do with Windows Update?

I've seen this note on the updates to the Windows Update Clients (WUC):

Important If you install a language pack after you install this update, you must reinstall this update. Therefore, we recommend that you install any language packs that you need before you install this update.

Hi Oops
Each new update client replaces a previous one
KB3112343 was released in December 2015
Since then there has been at least 2 others that I can remember
KB3138613 was March's
KB3135445 was February's
Not sure if January had one or not ?

Correct - no update to the WUC in January.
The March update is KB3138612

Exactly! That's why I installed LIP first before anything else (and to not see the default language anymore of course), but it apparently suspected of making Windows Update broken? Will try reinstall without LIP installed.
