Just fix the actual issue...the updates db can get corrupted follow the
procedure below on fhe workstation to make them work properly again:
Log in as local admin
Start, Run, net stop wuauserv
Delete the datastore folder under c:\windows\softwaredistribution\
Start, Run, net start wuauserv
Reboot
The updated database will be recreated.
This will make windows update run quicker and perform properly.

Hi all,
I've seen some notes floating around in the 'net that the Microsoft
Update-client is buggy, leaking and slows computers down and the solution
to
this is to downgrade to the older Windows Update-client.
Does anybody know how this downgrade is done??
We have problems with some of the XP-clients over here needed lots and
lots of
RAM and CPU-power when updating and I thought. The problem is that the
wua-something-process.exe doesn't release the RAM after updating but hogs
it.
TIA.
