Windows 10: Why are there around 70 USOClient processes on my task manager, and how do I get rid of them?

Hi there. Today, I looked at my task manager and counted around 70+ UsoClient processes. If there's any way to narrow that amount of processes down, without completely disabling the UsoClient thing entirely, telling me of it would be much appreciated.

USOclient

Hello,

Since wuauclt has been depreciated in windows 10, I was googling what has replaced it.

I found that usoclient is what has replaced this command for windows update in the command line.

However none of the commands work except one

Code:

USOclient ScanInstall Wait

The startScan option kicks it on for about a half second but fails to actually scan

Here are the commands I could find

• RefreshSettings – used to quickly enact any settings changes
• RestartDevice – as the name implies, it restarts the device. Can be used in a script to allow updates to finish installing on next boot.
• ResumeUpdate – used to tell the tool to resume updating after a reboot.
• StartDownload – initiates a full download (from Microsoft) of existing updates
• StartInstall – kicks-off the installation of the downloaded updates
• ScanInstallWait – Combined Scan Download Install
• StartInteractiveScan – we’ve yet to get this one to work, but it suggests that the process may work in a GUI
• StartScan – kicks-off a regular scan

If anyone has any info on this it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Task manager not showing any process!

In Task Manager, if you click View - Refresh Now, does the list of processes update?

If so, check View - Update Speed, is it set to normal?

 

Task Manager - Memory Compression Process?

Hello,

In my main system I have a process going that I don't understand. I have 2 computers sitting side by side and when I located this anomaly in my main system, I checked my 2nd system and it showed a different set of information.
I will post the screen snaps here below of each.

This first one is from my main computer I use continuously.
This image shows what seems to be nothing going on with the Memory Compression and I wonder why it is even in the task listings.







This second one is my Security Surveillance system running 24/7
It definitely shows a different set of memory numbers on this image of the Memory Compression. Much more then the above image.








Do I need this listing in my system. In the main system task it looks like it is doing nothing, yet in my security system computer, it has much more information given. What does this task do for the computer?

Thanks for your time
