I appear to have the Cortana high CPU problem. Is there a fix?

Do not use it till there is one.. I don't use it.

I had it all buttoned down. I think that may be the issue.

After installing this update, I tried to check the "winver". But the search function does not work. Blank window, doesn´t respond to any input.

I got the 0x800F081F error twice, am now trying a third time after the reboot. If that fails -- and it just did -- I'm trying the manual .msu download & install routine instead. Running now, copying packages to the update cache, standalone installer doing its thing, taking a while, just completed with an Update not installed status. Apparently some Update repairs are called for. Off to try that now. Will report back later.

Just ran through Shawn's excellent Reset Windows Update tutorial, and am now trying again. Into install phase: let's see if it blows up again. Research says it can be related to .NET 3.5, so perhaps it's hanging on the latest update to that environment. We'll see: it's been getting up to 100% then blowing up in the cleanup phase prior to reboot. 19% -- 20% -- sitting at this level much longer than before -- just jumped to 44% -- sitting there too -- 100% -- still blowing up with the same error. I'm stuck, I guess ...

If you manage to fix it, let us know I have exactly the same issue

I had the Cortana high cpu issue, seem to have fixed it though I've got no idea how.

I re-enabled all the Cortana stuff (I'd disabled it using ShutUp10), restarted and waited to see if it would finish whatever it was doing, after ~10 mins out of frustration I ended the Cortana task. It relaunched itself immediately but this time seemed to get wherever it was going after a few seconds, all good now.

Edit: blocking Cortana in ShutUp10 caused Cortana to go crazy again, guess they're forcing it on us now.

Fix here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
"BingSearchEnabled“=dword:00000001

Restart pc enjoy 👍

I have restored to before update. Have restored all cortana settings(shutup10) and an currently retrying the CU. Will update when done.

Thanks I'll try that if it goes crazy again.
