Cancellation of the update through Windows Update. How?

Question

Microsoft

Good day!
I think it's not a secret for anyone that recently the first service pack for Windows 7 became available to mere mortals , and I, like many others, decided to install it. Although Microsoft has recently begun to see positive trends, they have not yet succeeded in finally rectifying the situation - installing the service pack through Windows UpdateI got up at 19% of the load tightly, reboots did not help. I decided that if I download the image and install the update manually, the update itself will stop trying to boot due to irrelevance. However, it did not work out - the image was downloaded, the package was installed, but it still tries to boot through the updater, stopping at the same 19%. Everything would be fine, but on every reboot, I twice (at the end of the session and at system startup) observe an attempt to install some kind of update (“Preparing for updating Windows. Do not turn off the computer.”) , and the TrustedInstaller.exe process eats up a tangible percentage of the processor time.
Actually, I was interested in the question: “Is it possible to cancel the download and installation of the update selected in the updater so that Windows calms down? Have you experienced something like this?"

Answer 1

And if you try to clean C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\download?

Answer 2

And I got up to 96%, if you look at the size of the available space on the system disk, you will see that it is decreasing. I pumped out about a gig.
You just have to be patient and wait. He just rocks.

Answer 3

A little off topic, but I notice periodically subtle system freezes when I go to the task manager - I see trustedinstaller.exe and dllhost.exe, which somehow march and fall off. Windu update manually (notify but do not download). I am tormented by vague doubts - is it vnda that quietly puts something on its own, or does it pop up when checking for updates?
