I noticed network usage then CPU/Hard drive activity as I noted it's the Modern Setup Host with the process name in task manager as SetupHost.exe thus assuming located in C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources. I am wondering what does it do and how does it work, cause it really uses quite a bit of hardware resources and thus assuming may be an important Windows operation and thus had to delay or postpone projects and/or gameplay (Especially video editing/rendering and gameplay in Garry's Mod, Roblox and Second Life) so I don't want to interfere with the process.

2018-06-24T01:52:48+00:00 You are running the wrong build, Windows 10 17133 was proven to be defective and replaced by Windows 10 build 17134.
So, it should upgrade to that build, but I personally would download the ISO for build 17134 and perform a manual upgrade.
