TiWorker 50% of CPU and Updating doesn't work in any way

I haven't even had my laptop for a week and it's coming up with this tiworker.exe thing !!  Very disappointing to read all about here.  $400 and I'm sitting here frustrated!

I was having the same issue, it isn't gone but better - one thing I noticed is to make sure Office 2013 (if you have that) is updated.  When my fan is so loud I can hear it in another room and feel I will see my computer fly right by and launch itself out the window I will check Office (within Outlook 2013 go to File/Office Account and check Office Updates) and sure enough there is a notification there that Office 2013 has an update.  Why is doesn't automatically install (like it's supposed to) I don't know.  After I install the Office 2013 Update TiWorker stops.

 

I enjoyed your comment about your computer flying out the window from the fan running.  So funny.  I agree, it is so irritating hearing the fan go nuts on one's computer.  I used to say it sounded akin to my cat growling at another cat, only it was the fan going crazy from the Norton antivirus...  Anyway, I'm reading these posts because I too just got a system notice about ti.worker, only it's saying it is taking up 94% CPU usage, but I'm not hearing the fan and nothing seems to have slowed down.  I have noticed that always around 8pm at night,  just when I'm watching a movie on Netflix or if I'm watching some clips, that is when I always seem to get updates, and that's a really bad time for them to be installing updates for me.  Last night the while watching CBS 48 hours, the show crashed and I had to reboot the computer and go back into the website again and reload the video.  I figured it was because Microsoft or Norton was installing updates again.  Then I got a system notification about my firewall being disabled; I went to check and nothing was disabled.  I checked Norton and everything seemed fine.  So this morning,  I decided to check Norton again and now this notice pops up about ti.worker taking up 94% usage.

I just went through this whole tiworker thing again recently. I had trouble with Windows 8.1 and imaged my system back to Windows 8 and the tiworker SLAMMED my CPU for days. My computer was running so hot I would turn it off just to give it a break.

Every day I would check for updates and it would say there weren't any. On the third day of checking for updates, Windows Updates showed three OS updates to install - after that tiworker stopped.  I am guessing getting the system patched/updated to "current" is a process, with tiworker checking your configuration.

somethimes all Windows needs is a lil TLC, its not too hard to get anything to work, I have many programs and running one at a time is no problem at all, even with this Windows 8 that everyone see's as bad, it has its moments but after a update just give it a lil time to adjust, after all, it just took a large hit of change's, did u? imagine urself in ur computers position, learning over 10,000 new things in under 10 mins, sometimes more or less then 10 mins, can u do that? even half those things already exist just changing how it knows them, if u can do that, u don't need a computer lol, if u can do that, u have super human talents and don't need to even go to college for ur intellect, but, since ur computer is no smarter then the people that make it, just give it time, and TLC, and it'll fix the 50-100% usage itself
