Sophos endpoint using high cpu when updating windows

Question

Hi sophos team. I have an issue with sophos endpoint. The computer is so lagged when updating windows. Sophos endpoint defense software and sophos file scanner took over 50% cpu, do we have settings to bypass scanning update from window. 
 The endpoint is the latest version.

Hi Tri Nguyen2 , 
 Can you try applying these Microsoft recommended exclusions , which can also be found in the following knowledge base article - https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000033519?language=en_US and see if it helps? You may try excluding the Wsusscan.cab and Wsusscn2.cab files or excluding all .cab files from scanning. 
 I suggest creating a temporary Threat Protection policy first, which you can apply to the devices before they update. And then, you can create the exclusions within this temporary policy. 
 Let us know how it goes.
