The Windows Update problems often occur on Windows 7 or Vista based computers and in most cases, the errors are caused without any obvious reason and without a permanent solution to fix them from Microsoft.

In such cases your system may become slow or unresponsive, because the Windows Update service (svchost.exe) causes high CPU usage.
