Behemoth update for 1903 [build 18362.267]

So, I am downloading an .iso from microsoft.com, I already have a key. It offers 2 options, may 2019 and october 2018.

any reason I should download the older one? It is on my A-10 build.

That's feature update 1809, May 2019 would be the current 1903 feature update.

Anyone on 1903 might want to hold off on installing the latest optional cumulative update KB4512941. There's reports of high CPU usage from the SearchUI.exe process with the update installed.

Repeat of what happened with 1809 rushed out?

Interestingly, a few Insiders did log feedback about this issue in the Feedback Hub. However, since the build was not offered to Insiders for long enough before it went out to production, it seems the problem has slipped through. To add to it, the issue did not gather enough upvotes to gain attention. One would expect that the company would wait to gather more feedback for builds in the Insider Preview to be able to better address any such issues.

Some Windows 10 users on 1903 are facing high CPU usage after latest cumulative updates

Microsoft recently pushed an optional update to users on Windows 10 version 1903 that is resulting in high CPU usage. The issue is likely caused by Cortana, but there is no official confirmation yet.

^ Unfortunately many Windows 10 old/latest builds or updates have weird random cpu peaks caused by various Windows services. It's sad that installing updates is becoming dice roller now

What can you expect when Microsoft now pushes new buggy code out of door at lot more frequenctly and with less testing than before Win10.

Memo to Microsoft: Windows 10 is broken, and the fixes can't wait

Three urgent changes Redmond must make to stop the QA crisis

Microsoft’s problem isn’t how often it updates Windows—it’s how it develops it

Buggy updates point at deeper problems.

Microsoft really should be paying Windows 10 users for being beta testers instead of users having to pay Microsoft.

 

[biffzinker]

I've got the latest cumulative update installed, and I'm not running into the issue. I moved the Cortana directory out of System Apps to System Apps Bak directory I created. I use a third party app for searches, and I don't use Cortana as a assistant. I don't need it auto launching on boot. The only gotcha is I have to remember to move it back though when I'm installing Windows Updates.


The high CPU usage of SearchUI might of been caused by third party apps used to disable Cortana similar to disabling Telemetry.

workarounds for that problem mentioned here and here.

So microsoft rolls out update to fix bugs that caused by previous update so they can release a new update to fix it then

Been trying to figure out why my PC has been slower for the last few weeks. Finally figured it out, and was going to post, but found this thread.

This PC has an A8-3870K APU, so was never fast, but it had been so much slower lately. I never thought to check for rogue processes, as only 2 months ago I had disabled services I never used, deleted a load of trash, optimised everything, then ran Process Lasso to check every process and tweak a couple of priorities.

Yesterday, I decided to check something in task manager. Saw that Cortana was running! WTF? I had disabled it! It was using between 25 and 35% of my processing power! Checked in group policy editor, and it was still disabled! So I opened Process Lasso to see if I could figure it out. searchui.exe was using up to 38% of the APU. Killed the process, and Cortana stopped running - until I clicked on the start menu. I configured process lasso to disallow that process, so it can never run again. Waited until Cortana was no longer showing in Task Manager, then I found the Cortana directory in SystemApps, and added .old to the file name. Nothing seems to be broken because of it. If everything I use works over the next few days, I will delete Cortana altogether.

I have now also enabled web search, in case I have to reverse the directory name change or allow searchui.exe for anything.

EDIT:

Enabled BingSearchEnabled and then restored the directory, and everything had returned to how it should be. Not sure I want Bing enabled though (not that I use Windows search), so will stick to renaming the directory.

I cannot believe what just worked, and had me stuck for a week!!

I have been struggling with a WIN 10 install on a new build. I formatted my USB a number of times went through different load sites, including here...

No matter the load would stop at 11% and throw a 0x8007025D.

I literally spent 3 minutes online with that code number as a search.. Read through some posts and saw that 1 guy posted, "I used a USB2 instead of 3, solved."

I switched my USB stick from the front to the USB2 on back....oh well, premature celebration. It went past 11% but then dumped again. On the retry, it stopped at 11% again!!

System is an A-10 with an MSI board, memory is good, using a patriot USB, 2 drives have been converted to gpt main drive, loading OS onto is a 500gb toshibe laptop drive at 7200 rpm. second drive, data, is a WD black 1TB.

I am now at a loss, and need some help. I have never encountered this before. I am not a pro but, I have loaded numerous Windows OS's and even have 10 on this box I am writing this on. I am clueless. The patriot has been spot on for this last year. I have used it 9+ times, loading OS onto my crunching farm (different distro's and WIN 10).

I checked it for bad sectors when I started this whole ordeal. Bios is set to boot from USB first....neither drive has anything on them.

Help? Anybody?

Is the USB drive formatted FAT32?

 

[Arjai]

@jsfitz54
I think, YES. Not entirely sure. I don't know that I have ever not done it FAT32.

 

[Octopuss]

I suggest these posts be forked into standalone thread.

FAT32 is only required for UEFI installation, and if the stick was formatted wrong, the installation wouldn't even start in the first place.
You should try different USB stick if I understand the error correctly.

@debs3759 few posts above @biffzinker mentioned searchui.exe issue. And now MS released new cumulative update where they say that they fixed it:

Addresses an issue that causes high CPU usage from SearchUI.exe for a small number of users.
This issue only occurs on devices that have disabled searching the web using Windows Desktop Search.
