View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You deploy many updates to a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) client.
  • You perform an operation that generates the WM_TIMECHANGE message from the client computer. For example, you perform one of the following operations:
    • You change the system time.
    • You resume a computer from sleep.
    • You resume a computer from hibernation.
In this scenario, the computer runs slowly for some time. Additionally, the CPU usage is high, and the computer processes a heavy workload of disk I/O.
