Hi Sebastion
This problem is not related to Media Center Edition. With 500 computers you
are most likely in a Corporate environmenent running some form of WSUS 2.0
either R2 based or standard WSUS. There are some hotfixes which address this
issue but none which totally fix the issue and the best approach is to st
your update times back to a longer time to minimize the CPU spikes. I
suggest you take this to the appropriate Windows Update forum for
additional help.
