SQL Server seems to be making moderately large demands on the system even
when it is idle. There are no connections and no scheduled tasks, yet SQL
Server and Reporting Services together are using ~100 threads and up to 8%
CPU.

Is this normal? How can I tell it to let go of my processor and actually
take a break when it's supposed to be idle?



From: Paul Pedersen on
I should mention that this is SQL 2008.

Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't had 100% use, but maybe this is it
anyway.

I don't understand this cumulative update system well. None of it seems to
be handled by Microsoft Update. How can I tell which updates I already have?
