It's a base62 encoder that takes multiple integers as input. Probably a bit-length prefixed encoding. I am assuming it just pads an extra junk integer to re-roll the encoded number.

Sounds very familiar.

What the hell, man. This happens on every Windows 10 device that's left off for long periods of time. Stop blaming users for what's shitty programming/design.

I'm 3 hours in and my laptop is still spinning 100% on Windows maintenance services. What root causes? It's simply bad OS programming.

Don't gaslight users just because it works on your machine and in your use case.

A dev/engineer who believes 3 hours of self-maintenance on bootup is normal needs to re-evaluate their priorities.

3 hours in.

Rebooted for update.

Now mscorsvw's turn to spin 100%.

15 minutes in. Wuauserv is stealing the show. Spinning 100%. Meanwhile, Google and Adobe took their turns in updating as well.

50 minutes in. Still going 100%.

90 minutes in. TiWorker -Embedding (servicingstack) is now spinning.

Meanwhile I believe Windows 95 already finished installing from floppy disks on my old Pentium laptop.

Just booted up my laptop. CompatTelRunner is spinning two processes, one UpdateSoftwareInventory and one DoScheduledTelemetryRun. Meanwhile Edge and OneDrive have updated. I'm 10 minutes in. Spinning 100% CPU. Wuauserv and BITS are peeking in the background while telemetry is hogging everything.

Sad that so many comments here blame the user for what's obviously really bad programming in Windows Update and Windows Store.

The time it runs at 100% seems to go up exponentially the longer you leave the system off.

It just seems like very bad programming to me.

Nope. It can do this for days if you leave the laptop off long enough. And then the CPU usage will suddenly drop to 0% when it's done. It's not even updating, it's Windows Store / universal app shenanigans.

You're assuming it's actually doing something important. I'm assuming there's a bug in Windows. Which is more likely?

I shouldn't need to run my laptop for days at 100% to please some Windows Store optimization service, just because I haven't booted it up for a month. I have a desktop, the laptop is for emergencies. But it's useless because Windows insists on emptying the battery when I need it.

I have this issue on my older laptops with Windows 10 that I rarely use. The culprit is some Windows Store "optimization" process (wsappx). It'll run for days at 100% if you don't boot Windows for long enough. I hear the exact same from friends. It's clearly a blatant bug that's been going on for years now, and Microsoft doesn't give a shit.
