I have a problem with wuauclt.exe. It activates about every 20 minutes and completely stalls all other activity on my computer, using 90% - 100% of my CPU. I have read that the fix is to turn off Automatic Updates. I have done that, I've rebooted and yet I still have this problem. If I go to the Task Manager when wuauclt.exe is running and I manually stop the process, my CPU usage immediately drops right back down. I don't want to delete wuauclt.exe permanently since I may want to use it as some point to get my updates. Is there anything else that I can do, and if not, how do I delete wuauclt.exe?11 people need an answerI do too

Hi all, For those running WSUS in an enterprise environment, this is the solution:Seems you have to run the Server Cleanup Wizard (found under Options on your WSUS CMC) on a regular interval so all old or superseded updates are removed otherwise the client needs to search through all those updates and that hangs the pc.Cheers,Jan
