I had an issue with my PC for the past few days. I recently got windows 10 and the task manager shows some issue with the CPU high usage. I don’t have a lot of application installed but I don’t know what is the issue. I disabled the service but no luck yet. Please help me get a fix. Thank you in advance.
In Windows 10 laptop, sometimes CPU fan run very fast and make noise because Windows Module Installer Worker occupies CPU more than 50%. In this case, you can solve the problem by changing windows update into manual mode.
Open services.msc (In Windows 10, WindowsKey+R and enter services.msc)
Search “Windows module installer”.
Double click the “Windows module installer”, and make it manual. It is usually set Automatic.
Search “Windows update”.
Double click the “Windows update”, and make it manual.
Open Control panel (click the right button of your mouse at the lower left of you display monitor or LCD, e.g., at the Windows logo. and then you can see control panel menu)
Click "Windows update"
In left you can see "Change settings"
Change the setting into “Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them”. It is usually set automatic.
Reboot
The Windows module installer workers cannot bother you anymore.
Important:
Because Windows update is set manual, you MUST check regularly (weekly or monthly) windows update by yourself.
