The most recent occurrence of this hydra is usocoreworker which most likely replaced previous Windows Update services components; sometimes it's even impossible to kill it even by temporarily elevating rights of task manager or console (for taskkill use) by 3rd-party tools. It can spawn in the background even if you postponed updates - guess that's the MS insurance that OS will receive updates despite of user settings choice and update feature will be immune to bypassing (but luckily, that is possible - at least for this moment, if you of course try hard enough). Gods, I miss the good times of XP, Vista and 7 where it was possible to control updates and avoid potentially dangerous patches.
