Definitely shouldn't be happening that frequently (it should only crank up when Windows Update is checking for updates, determining if they apply to your system)... and you really shouldn't notice it. That said, I believe WU / TrustedInstaller will be better behaved in SP1.

I hope so cause Im on a laptop ram isnt an issue its the fact that I have a 1.8 centrino and when something runs at 100% it is really noticeable on my system. Its funny it also does it when I run media player either at startup or when I close it. I already added a registry entry to have media player not check for updates but it still runs and really lags my music.

hey i know this is an old topic, but the whole trusted installer thing is getting annoying again. Everytime I start media player or movie make trustedinstaller clicks on bumps my cpu to 100% and sits for 5 or so minutes and it really lags my computer. Why would there be a process like this that automatically gets 100% cpu.

Again? Are you saying it does go away at some point?

Hello, we at Microsplot sell buggy products so that you could do our betatesting and leave more money in our pockets. Thanks for co-operating (we may fix this in next (expensive) Windows version)

Look closely at my Avatar and do the math.

Disable the Windows Modules Installer service in services.msc, that'll stop it. You'll have to start it again temporarily to use a lot of installers though.

I'm a simracer that competes in organised events, and the last thing I need is Vista checking for windows updates when I'm bombing around Zandvoort surrounded by another 24 cars. I don't mind if I'm just browsing or whatever, but I wish there was a "BUGGER OFF" mode for full screen applications (=games)

You may disable auto update of wmp to get rid of the trustedinstaller while using wmp:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaPlayer]
"DisableAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001

thanks created a .reg file for this, but i looked at regedit and there is no windowsmediaplayer folder in the microsoft policies section

The key does not exist but will be created after the .reg is imported. You may check http://support.microsoft.com/KB/278960 for more details :)

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
