Windows update using 50% of CPU-Win7 x64 [View all]

Fresh install on new drive,updating went fine until SP1 installed.

Now under one instance of svchost.exe, wuauserv/windows update uses 50% of CPU whether I am trying to update or not,but stays stuck on searching for updates when I try.

Have tried numerous fixes,mostly other windows updates using a standalone installer.Already had most installed,but got a couple to install,none fixed it and get error 0x8024001e on most tried since with standalone installer.

I can turn it off and all is good,but it has to run correctly when needed to.

Lil' help plz.
