The task "Windows Modules Installer Worker" or similar runs on my laptop all the time. When I try to close the task, it opens again.
I've tried a lot and did some research online. Unsuccessful.
Everything on the Internet has brought me nothing and the task never closes. Restarting does not help either. It always works.

This is normal, it can take hours with freshly installed windows
Windows updates will be installed
But it's not freshly installed and it's been like that for days.

Disconnect from the Internet, restart the PC
Delete the contents of the folder "C: \ Windows \ SoftwareDistribution \ Download" (the downloaded windows updates are in there)
The file that is executed is called wuauclt.exe. When I tried your method, it worked for a short time, then the program started again. Services.msc → Windows Update → Deactivate
did not work. Can I just delete this file? Because 20% CPU for something that neither writes nor consumes RAM or network is really unnecessary.

Yes, definitely windows update
(I temporarily completely deactivated it on my laptop because the software for Synaptics touchpads is installed by Windows 10 without being asked & that eats up a lot of CPU power & disturbs the keyboard + touchpad).

Thanks for the star.
How can I deactivate that? When I try to end the task, it starts up again directly.

Run services.msc as admin
Deactivate everything with "Update" & restart your PC… But you have to update it once a month
Unfortunately it does not work…

log in as admin & run it as admin
if necessary, throw the virus scanner all the way down beforehand
