A common problem under Windows 10/8/7 is the inexplicable use of High Disk, which sometimes blocks all other processes in the system. In many cases, when you check the Task Manager, the CPU and hard disk usage of the Windows Installer Worker module is very high – sometimes even more than 50%!

The Windows Modules Installer Worker or WMIW or TiWorker.exe checks for new Windows server updates and installs them on your computer system. This process can place a load on the system and, in some cases, increase disk usage by up to 100%, causing all other processes to be suspended or frozen. A system reboot does not work and the problem does not resolve itself. read more
