my system does that too, but it's System Idle Process that takes up all CPU...

thats just how much CPU is free

If thats the case, try again and again.

If doesnt show up in add/remove and shows it again on WU, might have to delete the catroot2 folder, delete all temp files, etc etc and try agin.

Well, read his above posts ...

I think you should read his above posts.

He is having trouble installing Windows Updates via the web site.

If he fixes this issue which is easy enough, he can get all the updates and critical fixes.

Reinstalling is a stupid idea.

  DaCoOlNeSs, the issue is with custom themes and reinstalling xp would fix the issue. 

And how is it related to custom themes? How is Windows Update not installing related to this? Im using custom themes. Most people on Neowin using custom themes. Please elaborate how his issues are related to custom themes and why he should reinstall windows becuase of these custom themes!!

nope, it still happens after deleting everything to do with temporary stuff

what about upgrading to XP Pro and trying?

Delete the contents of this folder.

C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate\V4

Firstly

Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in:

del /q "%SystemRoot%\System32\Catroot2\Edb.log

Secondly

Rename or delete the catroot2 folder and or do the following

At the command prompt (Start/Run/CMD), type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each line:

net stop cryptsvc

ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2

net start cryptsvc

and

Lastly

Open a Command Prompt and re-register the following files by typing "REGSVR32 <FILENAME>". Don't use the "<>" and substitute the appropriate file. Then press Enter - you should get a "succeeded" message on each attempt.

The files are:

SOFTPUB.DLL

WINTRUST.DLL

INITPKI.DLL

DSSENH.DLL

RSAENH.DLL

CRYPTDLG.DLL

Did you reboot before you tried? or at least retsrated the browser? : Yes

Did you rename/delete the catroot2 folder? : wont let me!

Did you remove the contents of the Programs Files/Windows Update folder? : i dont have one.....

Did you delete all temp information? : yup

Did you rename/delete the catroot2 folder? : wont let me!

Will let you.

Can try safe mode, or the following

net stop cryptsvc

ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2

net start cryptsvc

Did you remove the contents of the Programs Files/Windows Update folder? : i dont have one.....

Go to my computer, Tools, folder options, View Tab and select 'show hidden files and folder' and click apply and ok.

Its might be hidden in the Program Files folder but should see it now.

it crashes more often now

Windows update is doing the same thing

    • I don;t think I would trust it, seeing the mistakes all these AI are making.l
    • I'm stumped people think DEI is just a quota and nothing else.
    • Microsoft's AI is highly effective for identifying targets on the battlefield or for firing a lot of workers. 🫤
    • Microsoft AI diagnoses complex medical cases four times better than human doctors by Paul Hill Microsoft AI has revealed that its AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) is able to correctly diagnose 85% of complex cases from the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) case proceedings. What makes this more impressive is that the cases published in NEJM are very diagnostically complex and intellectually demanding. They typically require multiple specialists and diagnostic tests to reach a definitive diagnosis, so the fact AI can get it right most of the time is a big deal. The MAI-DxO turns language models into a virtual panel of clinicians that is able to ask follow-up questions, order tests, or deliver diagnoses. MAI-DxO boosted the diagnostic performance of every model that was tested by Microsoft, with the best results when it was paired with OpenAI’s o3. When MAI-DxO was using o3, it was able to correctly solve 85.5% of NEJM benchmark cases. Microsoft compared this to humans; it took 21 practicing physicians from the US and UK with 5-20 years of clinical experience, and on the same tasks, they achieved a mean accuracy of just 20% across completed cases. Microsoft believes that these tools can significantly shake up healthcare by empowering patients to self-manage routine aspects of care and equipping clinicians with advanced decision support for complex cases. To find out how AI would perform on the NEJM cases, Microsoft had to create the Sequential Diagnosis Benchmark (SD Bench) which transforms 304 recent NEJM cases into stepwise diagnostic encounters. Models can then iteratively ask questions and order tests. As new information becomes available, the model will update its reasoning and gradually move toward a final diagnosis which can be compared to what was published in the NEJM. As mentioned before, the MAI-DxO system emulates a virtual panel of physicians that is able to ask follow-up questions, order tests, or deliver diagnoses. Aside from this, it can operate within defined cost constraints to help prevent excessive testing. While Microsoft’s experiment is showing very promising results, this research is just a first step. Before generative AI can be used safely in healthcare scenarios, more evidence needs to be gathered from real clinical environments. There also need to be appropriate governance and regulatory frameworks to make sure models are reliable and safe. To accomplish all of this, Microsoft is partnering with health organizations to test and validate its approaches before any broader rollout.
