Wuser32.exe taking all CPU time

[scotitpulsa]

I have a pc on my network using windows xp pro and in the task manager under the processes tab, Wuser32.exe is taking all of the cpu time and causing the pc to be virtually unusable. This is the first time that i've seen this happen. any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Are there any other types of remote control apps on the computers? XP specifically, you need to make sure the Remote Desktop or Assistant services are not running.

Someone has remote access, or did and did not disconnect properly, or can and the system is prepared for the connection.

. Try Safe Mode with Networking. Does it happen again?
. If you stop the Remote Desktop client, does the problem disappear?
