Windows Modules installer worker

Hey tech community,

 

I have a legion Y540 windows 10. I recently updated to the latest 20H2 ( not sure if am correct with the version) after that I saw a gradual drain of my laptop battery , it gives me hardly an hour over battery and i saw what was consuming this heavily and found that Windows Modules installer worker is continuously running and draining the battery.

 

I checked online and found out it might be trying to install updates , I tried updating and everything , the result is still the same.  Oh I have already tried going to services and setting it manually and all . I am thinking is it just for me . I am planning on resetting the OS and see what will happen.

 

Thanks in advance!

  • Hi,
    have you tried leaving it on for few hours or during night time to see if it finally finished whatever it's doing?

    after that Reset is a great option
