Microsoft’s latest optional update for Windows 10 version 1903 has been more problematic than expected. If Microsoft didn’t indicated any known issues when itreleased the build 18362.329on August 30, some users have quickly noticed thatCortana’s background process (SearchUI.exe) could cause unusual CPU spikesof between 30% and 40% for no apparent reason.

Microsoft finally acknowledged the issue two days ago and said that a fix could come in an upcoming release, but the company has sinceupdated the known issuesfor the optional update to mention some Windows Desktop Search issues that haven’t been discussed before (viaZDNet).

Microsoft is getting reports that a small number of users may not receive results when using Windows Desktop Search and may see high CPU usage from SearchUI.exe. This issue only occurs on devices that have disabled searching the web using Windows Desktop Search.

Again, the software giant says that these issues are only affecting “a small number of users,” and the build 18362.329 is still an optional update that the company is pushing to all users on Windows 10 version 1903. Anyway, the good news is that the Microsoft expect to fix these issues “in mid-September,” which could be next week with the monthly “Patch Tuesday” update.
