Disk Access Load is High due to TiWorker.exe

Windows Edition: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Note: The PC is not connected to the internet and windows updates are disabled.

Due to the high load of disk access, the application processes are slowed down.

Upon checking the Windows Event Viewer Logs here's what I found.

In Application.evtx, there are a lot of CbsPackageServicingFailure2 logged. In System.evtx, there are a lot of logs pertaining to the changes of Windows Modules Installer service from Manual to Automatic and vice versa.

Also in task manager, TiWorker.exe is running and consumes a lot of resources.

Currently Windows Modules Installer Service has been stopped and disabled. It seems to be effective as a temporary countermeasure.

Will disabling "Windows Modules Installer Service" affect the installation of security patches and other updates? Also is there another way to solve this problem without disabling the service?

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Based on the description, I understand your question is related to Disk Access Load is High due to TiWorker.exe.

    Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter to automatically detect and fix issues related to Windows Update.

    Also try run below commands:

    net stop bits

net stop wuauserv

net stop appidsvc

net stop cryptsvc

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

net start bits

net start wuauserv

net start appidsvc

net start cryptsvc

    Disabling the “Windows Modules Installer Service” can indeed prevent the installation of security patches and other updates, as this service is responsible for installing, modifying, and removing Windows updates and optional components.

    However, since your PC is not connected to the internet and updates are disabled, this might not be an immediate concern for you.

    Have a nice day.

    Best Regards,

    Molly
