Windows Modules Installer taking 90% CPU

Hi,

Windows Modules Installer is a part of Windows Update Service that enables installation, modification, and removal of Windows updates and optional components.

If Windows is checking for updates, it is normal that this process will take some CPU usage.

For us to better assist you, we'd like to know if Windows Modules Installer is
having 90% CPU usage for a straight 24 hour period. If not, and it is just utilizing CPU usage for a minute or an hour, it may not be an indication of high CPU usage.

If yes, try to set Windows Update into manual mode:

• Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
• Type services.msc and press Enter.
• Locate and double-click Windows Modules Installer.
• Under Startup type, select Manual, click
  Apply, then OK.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.

I have windows 10 on my laptop. This application named "tiltwheelmouse.exe" or "pximouse" starts at windows startup and keeps running in the background. Is this app needed for Windows??
