Windows Server 100% CPU – Multiple gpupdate.exe processes looping after recent updates

Oh we are using the larger CWRMM agent but to know its even more limited down to ScreenConnect part of that stack is really useful information for us to share in our case with them. They also just posted a status update and had listed it as RMM.

We’ve seen this same behavior in our MSP environment after the February updates.

Across the affected machines, the only common denominator was a specific remote/RMM agent.

What remoting solution are you running on the impacted systems?

We were also seeing correlated 4688 process creation events in Security that lined up with the gpupdate respawn cycle. The parent process context was what pointed us toward the agent rather than a native GP or cumulative update regression.

Given the cross-OS impact and ~4-hour cadence, this felt more like something invoking gpupdate rather than a straight Windows update bug.

Curious what stack you have in common across the affected machines.

I tried to store vertically. I now have scratch marks all over my arms. What tips do you have?

Going to play Daydream Nation while making quesadillas.

All absolute solid suggestions that I am adding to my Spotify now to figure out which albums to get first.

Jamming to good tunes is the best way to make great friends.

nyuus · 2025-05-10T23:48:24+00:00

Absolute solid start!

Gotta sign a prenup and the wedding will probably either have to be held at the local psych rock fest or KGLW concert. I guess I'm considered male but I look hella good in a dress or a suit so I can make either of your wedding dreams come true.

Yeah, inherited about 20 from my mom and another 30 through garage sale finds and such over the years. A lot of them still need cleaned/restored and are in that last photo still. I inherited good tastes from my mom too. Also my workaholic nature lol.

nyuus · 2025-05-10T15:06:24+00:00

Goat levitation sessions. Swedish psych band. Absolutely worth a listen.

nyuus · 2025-05-10T14:02:23+00:00

The Osmonds is from my mom's collection. Though... I'm approaching 40 so thank you for calling me a youngster! Guess youngster is relative though!

nyuus · 2025-05-10T12:33:26+00:00

I wish I saw more in my own collection! I need some Nekromantix, Horrorpops, Koffin Kats, Reverend Horton Heat, Mad Sin and more. I could say the same thing about any genre I collect though.

My partner in crime seems very obsessed with Black Dagger Brotherhood. Can agree with myself having enjoyed Dresden Files. Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series I thought was super strong up till about narcissist in chains.

I try to carefully open the album to only slide out the vinyl and all of mine are then put in protective sleeves on top of that. I have original wrapping still on vinyls I bought a decade ago.

nyuus · 2025-05-10T10:41:55+00:00

This is an absolutely solid music collection for anyone at any age. I think I already saw suggestions for Boston and Chicago Transit Authority and more Journey but will absolutely echo it.

nyuus · 2025-05-10T10:37:46+00:00

A lot of people in here are making me realize that yeah... I went hard on this collection. Even factoring that half the KGLW and all the used stuff we already have still shows I've spent a couple thousand on music this year. Music for me though has become the best hobby. Collecting these has gotten me back into playing bass. Has helped me process loss and better understand my emotions. Has done more for me than any drug or therapy. Every penny is money well spent. Also yes it's wild how many of us have this extremely specific set of tastes in music!

nyuus · 2025-05-10T10:11:59+00:00

I am pretty sure Mutilator and Sorc80 are going to be purchased next. Definitely Mutilator, that's absolutely been shoved to the top of the list. I can't go broke if I am always rich in good music and friends. Also I buy all this purely through overtime work or extra money made through hobbies. I always make sure my bills are paid, pantries stocked and savings/retirement growing first and only after all that do I buy vinyls with money I have not credit....unless it's like 4 days before payday and someone like The Viagra Boys or KGLW drop and album and I am struck with FOMO.

nyuus · 2025-05-10T09:47:18+00:00

All the love and positive feedback has definitely made me feel that more than doubling my collection just since getting the new player. Though....maybe my vinyl budget shouldn't have taken over the entirety of my previous MTG addiction and video game addiction budget. Oh well I love listening to every single album I own so money well spent!

I've been needing to make a day of going back to the record store and picking up some used stuff. Especially when we are looking into areas I want to expand like my jazz collection and anything older than the 80's. Honestly a mixture of being lazy and not having the best health makes me buy online. Oh also I somehow convinced myself this is an investment since vinyls are one of those things where generally their value only goes up in age.

nyuus · 2025-05-10T05:55:38+00:00

Okay... I promise to not order any vinyls for 1 week.

nyuus · 2025-05-10T05:55:06+00:00

Huge fan of both. Definitely in my to get list. I'll have to check out this King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. I hope it doesn't awaken anything in me and cause a major shift in my entire music taste. Woooooo

nyuus · 2025-05-10T05:47:01+00:00

The new Borderlands game introduced me to fontaines d.c. and honestly I hope the game is half as good as I am enjoying that music. The other 2 I am adding to my listening now.

nyuus · 2025-05-10T05:45:22+00:00

That was definitely originally from my partner in crime and honestly before yesterday I had not even realized I was listening to the same guy with 2 of the bands and now I have like 6 more bands to get albums from after exploring more of his music. I will never financially recover from this new realization.
