there are a couple of notes about the referenced process.
first, when I ran svchost lookup tool from tweaking, it did not initially show a significant amount of memory usage... in fact I ran it a couple of times and it showed about 90MB in use.
I then reset the computer, selected check for windows updates and re-ran svchost lookup. For a short period of time, the tool reported approximately 150MB of memory usage. After 3 refreshes of the tool over the course of about 3 minutes, the tool reported that memory consumption of the window update process dropped back to about 90MB of memory consumption.
So I proceeded on with the process.
Since this was NOT a fresh install of windows 7, I proceeded to step 5.
There is a problem with the referenced command to list all updates on the computer.
the command: systeminfo > "C:\test\info-list.txt"
does NOT create a complete list of installed updates. I very briefly searched and found a reference indicating Microsoft knows this is a bug in the windows 7 platform.
so instead of using the systeminfo command, you might want to consider substituting the following:
md c:\test
wmic qfe list brief /format:table > "c:\test\info-list.txt"
once I had a complete list of all the installed updates, I checked through the list of suggested installed updates at
Search for Windows Updates takes forever? - A possible solution
What I found was that all were installed EXCEPT for KB3189511.
Based on the KB article from Microsoft, it appears this KB was released the day AFTER this computer was able to complete it's last automatic update.
After install of KB3189511, automatic updates now appear to be functioning O.K.
thanks for the reference.
please consider making a change to the command to collect the list of installed updates.
