Hi，

Could give us your CPU usage snapshot?

That's not possible Update Orchestrator Service eating 65% of CPU, Windows Update was eating 60% of CPU. and Windows Modules Installer Worker is eating 45% of CPU at the same time and all the time.

I guess that's because there are some updates pending or installing. The situation should be go away once the installation and configuration finishing.

It's not recommend you disable the service to damage the Windows Update function.
