Yesterday I was at work, and I was doing work on the computer with Internet Explorer. I noticed it was "not responding" every 30 seconds or so, and was just running slow. I opened task manager, and the CPU usage was at 100%. Memory usage was normal, not high or anything.
I sorted the list of open processes by highest CPU usage, and found there were four processes that had 25% CPU usage each. Two of these processes had a name that started with the word "Update." The other two started with the words "Windows" and I think they had ".dll" in the title name or something like that. But I closed the two processes that had the word Update in them, and the computer sped up a little.
I was wondering if anyone knows what is causing this, or what those processes do. I will tell you if the problem happens again.
I don't have specs on the computer other than its Windows 8. It's a work computer so I can't do anything right now, but give advice and I'll get to it next time I work.
Thanks.
