TiWorker.exe High usage for WEEKS

Seems you are having problems with Windows update. TiWorker.exe is part of the update system. So there is no surprise that the program itself is "following" you through resets.

The CBS.LOGS issue is a long standing problem, here are some potential fixes:

CBS.LOG FILES FILLING DRIVE 100% DISK FULL

It is just a file logging error messages. If you have having no problems, you can safely delete it.

This seems to be a problem that comes and goes in Windows. A few other people have reported the same thing recently. In theory, as the log hits a limt, something like 20-30 MB (not GB) it is supposed to be rolled over into a CBSPersist*****.LOG. Then those files are supposed to be compressed into .CAB files. I checked my system and couldn't identify any CAB files that look like they are part of the CBS system. Part of the process seems to have been broken.

Note: these log files can also “overflow” into the C:\Windows\Temp folder as “Cab_xxxx_X” files

One suggested fix is:

* In start menu find services.msc

* Right click on it and select “Run as Admin”

* In the displayed list, find the Windows Modules Installer service, “TrustedInstaller”

* Right click on it and select “Stop” (Do NOT close the services dialog yet)

* In File Explorer, go to C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\

* Delete or move or Rename any ALL of the CBS.LOG or Cbspersist_XX.log files

* In file Explorer, go to C:\Windows\Temp

* Delete all CAB_xxxx_x files

* Go back to the Services dialog

* Right click on the TrustedInstaller service again, Select “Start”

* Close the services dialog.

* Restart the computer.

This should stop the broken process that was generating all of these files to fill you drive.

******************************

Rather than stoping the update process, here is a technique that is supposed to allow you to block specific updates:

REMOVE A DRIVER PACKAGE FROM THE DRIVER STORE

When you uninstall a driver, if you don’t want it to come back automagically, you have to block it and remove it from the driver storage folder

HIDE / BLOCK WIN AND DRIVER UPDATES

Microsoft has released KB3073930 that will let users block or hide Windows or driver updates.

You can download it at the following link:

You should also submit a copy of your original problem description using the Feedback Hub

FEEDBACK HUB- SEND FEEDBACK TO MICROSOFT WITH THE FEEDBACK HUB APP <WIN><F>

There are real MS staff and developers who monitor all submissions to the UserVoice forums whether you submit them through the Feedback Hub, or by using the Feedback command built in to some MS applications, like Office 2016, or by using the appropriate link directly

This next link is a wiki with a collection of MS UserVoice.com sites I’ve encountered (I’m sure there are more):

In addition, when you post a suggestion / complaint to UserVoice, if you have reached there by being guided while asking a question in a forum, please post a link back to your suggestion in UserVoice in the original Quetion. That way other people who see your original question because they are looking for the same fix can easily find your suggestion, vote for it and add supporting comments.

Many users are reporting issues with this update, I recommend you block it until further notice:

Is there an option or work around to block updates or hardware drivers that might cause problems?

Yes, Microsoft has released a KB update (KB3073930) that will let users block or hide Windows or driver updates.

You can download it at the following link:

After downloading, launch it, click Next, wait while it detects pending Windows Updates.

Click the Hide Updates menu.

Scroll through the list then select then select the update. Check the box next to the update then click Next to confirm changes.

You can try install it manually by downloading from the Microsoft Update Catalog:
