looks like something in there is listening to be served by choice.microsoft.com, which quick search shows to be some kind of adserver feeding their products.

not sure why it would take up so much cpu, tho.

i have to busy myself with something else, but will try this, when i can

Yeah it's called look at the threads tab. Run Process Explorer as Administrator if the service names don't show up.

Everything's working fine for me on Windows 10, by the way. ;^)

It's a WU issue. I think there's a patch to fix it, but I don't know which off hand.

most svchost.exe processes are controlled by services. turn off the service and it removes it from the svchost.

I also suspect m$ is making Vista and Win7/8 pcs run at 100% cpu usage for hours/days in an effort to get peeps upgraded to win10.

im running vista, have turned off everything including win update. it runs at 0%-2% idle.

I turn on update once every three months, download the updates and turn it off again.

2 months without a reset (last reset).

moving to linux once this laptop shits itself.
