Very frequent in recent years have become cases,when some computer terminals began to experience a slowdown in work. This applies only to those machines that are connected to the Internet. When trying to recognize processes, there is often a Windows Modules Installer Worker service in the same Task Manager. What it is, not every user imagines. We will understand more specifically.
First of all, we will start from built-in processes and background services of Windows, which work in an invisible user mode.
Actually, the translation itself, according to whichthe Windows Modules Installer Worker process is classified, it can be treated as an "operating system module installer". Do not confuse the components of the operating system with the updates. These are completely different things, although they are interconnected with each other quite strongly, however, one-sidedly. The fact is that the installer of the system modules without the enabled and activated update service often does not work at all. But first things first. First, let's look at the service itself, because it plays an important role in the entire system.
The fact that for Windows with an enviable regularity are released updates in the form of regular updates patching holes in the security system, or service packs, probably do not need to say.
Even the "ten", for which, as was said,updates are not required, since the system is available for download as a version of Pro on the official Microsoft website, still has a special service for these purposes. This is so whether you like it or not. The Windows Modules Installer Worker component loads the system in the background, trying to constantly find not updates of the "operating system", and additional components are considered to enhance the capabilities of Windows.
It turns out that in any case, the service runs in the background, and you can complete it only through the Task Manager (and not always).
The fact is that in the background, the usernot all services are available to view. Even in the standard task manager, only the main processes are displayed, the completion of which can not drastically affect the performance of Windows.
Why is there a load on the processor?Yes, simply because with an active Internet connection, the service constantly accesses several resources, trying to find something new. Updates do not work that way, or rather, act on schedule. As you can see, it's easiest to disconnect an existing connection. Look, the effect will appear immediately.
You can not discount Windows updates.As practice shows, Windows Modules Installer Worker will load the processor when the automatic update service is running (they work together).
You can disable the search and install updatesquite simply in the "Windows Update Center", although for reasons of Microsoft experts, this is not recommended. For access, use the appropriate section in the Control Panel.
As is already clear, the question connected with the fact thatWindows Modules Installer Worker loads the processor, you can solve it by using the forced shutdown of this component in the standard Task Manager.
True, it is worth paying attention to the onethe moment that it will be a one-time trip. Incidentally, this process is not displayed in startup items, because Windows refers it to system. User access to it is therefore blocked.
You can disable it only in the "Services" sectionTask Manager. And then, depending on the settings of the system itself, it is not yet a fact that the process will not be loaded when it is restarted, when the automatic update service is enabled.
The problem with the fact that Windows Modules Installer Worker loads the processor can be solved by entering the "Start" search button (Windows 7, for example) of the Search service query in the menu.
In the window that opens, you just need to find the module installer process and right-click to bring up the menu where the end command will be present.
Again, this option works one time (as well as the completion of the active process in the Task Manager).
To completely get rid of this annoyingservice, you need to disable it in startup items in the Task Manager and the Services tab, with a parallel disabling of the search and installation of updates for the system itself. Note, even if you select the option to search for updates and suggestions for later installation, it still does not help. Updates must be disabled entirely.
It is understood that the delete operationprocess or its stop in the plan of automatic loading at start of Windows it is possible and with usage of corresponding keys of the system registry or even complete removal of this component from system. However, such steps are recommended only for experienced users who clearly understand what and how should be changed.
Otherwise, the consequences of suchinterventions can be the most unpredictable, and even completely fatal for a computer system, up to the point that if the wrong component is turned off or removed, this component will have to be dealt with, if not by reinstalling Windows, then by restoring the system accurately. Therefore, before you disable this component, you need to think a hundred times whether it should be done. Windows developers are cunning in a way. Such a service is not for nothing. By the way, if anyone does not know, this applies to "poppy", and Linux, and in general all UNIX-like systems, however, there it is veiled so that the usual user access to the shutdown functions without special knowledge will look very long.
