📎 AI Summary:
The original poster asked for ways to prevent Windows 10 from constantly searching for updates without disabling the service, noting that tiworker.exe consumes many resources. A respondent suggested checking if WUDO (Windows Update Delivery Optimization) is enabled, as it can cause resource drain, but the original poster confirmed WUDO is disabled. Overall, the discussion centers on resource management related to Windows update processes, with some concern about how update features may impact system performance.

Is there a way to keep win 10 from constantly searching for updates other than disabling it's service? I notice tiworker.exe is constantly draining my pc (i'm guessing here) I haven't noticed any other process's using lots of resources.

check to see if you have wudo enabled, mrf71 … wudo allows other parties to gather portions of the update directly from your computer … rather than those individuals obtaining updates directly from microsofts' servers. hence … almost all the resources from your computer are prioritized by, you guessed it, wudo! personally speaking, once wudo was disabled … i was able to access the computer as well as the internet … in normal manner.

so … briefly reiterating, mrf71 … microsoft has found a way of, not only forcing updates upon us (robbing us of resources/bandwidth) … but also manipulating us to update others' operating systems...
