NB: The original title of this thread was: Anyone Able To Get or Check MS November 2013 Updates? I have not been able to have the November MS updates finish, been doing this for several days, on and off ... computer is running Fast and HOT and never finishes. I wanted just to check what updates were released for XP. I just found this article a few minutes ago about an XP update problem for November. Windows XP update locks machines with SVCHOST redlined at 100%: Fix it with KB 2879017. Bug returns with recent patches in Windows XP's Windows Update processing, as SVCHOST pegs 100% CPU utilization. By Woody Leonhard @InfoWorld on Nov 13, 2013 so there, so much for MS and the November updates ... anyone else notice this? additional ... I only do manual updating, I get the list of updates needed and then download them to keep in a folder to burn to a CD, I install them myself, nothing actually installed by M$ ... I put the IE 8 update from October back on (as mentioned in the article) and nothing is fixed ... computer is still running very HOT and going nowhere. Thanks again to M$ for a great product, like they care! I have the updates installed through Oct 2013 and things are working good so no more crap updates for me till April / May of next year. I have been putting them on every 2 or 3 months and then doing an image backup for that stage. It's just not worth it, possibly destroying a good working XP setup in these "final days". Does M$ care, probably not at this point but I will attempt to put all final updates on in May of next year ... this frustration is too much !!!
