    You can try doing it as Jitesh mentioned
    That won’t harm the device
    It’s good troubleshooting step

    So killing the services using pid is not recommended. Am I right ?
    I need to check for latest ssu and check event logs

    You can’t find out the reason for this Windows Update service …. you might need to install the latest SSU or something in the event log etc might give you some clue

      I ran the command and found the pid id.
      Can I run below command now
      Taskkill pid “pid no” /f

      Since there are multiple services with same pid. Will it harm the server.
