• Updater.exe high CPU usage since updates of 11Sep19

  • This topic has 2 replies, 3 voices, and was last updated 1 year, 4 months ago.

  • • Since the automatic updates to Win10 of this morning 11Sep19 (Australia), “Updater.exe (Unicode)” is running constantly at between 16% and 17% CPU with 1.2MB memory – Power usage is “Very High”. The CPU fan in my laptop is running faster than normal. Have rebooted again after the updates, but no change.

      Just wondering whether this is normal, or something to do with today’s updates.

      Any advice appreciated.

    • Normal?, it depends on what updater is supposed to be doing.

      Updater.exe could belong to any installed program suite. On the Details tab right-click on the program in Task Manager, click on Properties. In the new window click on the Details tab, there may be text describing which software package it belongs.

      Or if it is too late in Task Manager you can open a command windows Win+R type cmd, click okay or press enter, then type dir updater.exe /s and wait. If you get a hit then you can use File Explorer for navigating to the directory and get file specific details.

      Windows itself does not use a program with that name unless newer versions have changed their ways.

The Windows 10 Update Assistant downloads and installs feature updates on your device. Feature updates like Windows 10, version 1909 (a.k.a. the Windows 10 November 2019 Update) offer new functionality and help keep your systems secure. You’ll get these updates automatically after you download the Update Assistant.

If you don’t want to wait for an automatic update, or if you want to check for quality updates (which are more frequent and include small fixes and security updates), you can update Windows 10 yourself.

If you’re an IT professional, you can defer updates. Go to Windows 10 servicing options.
