PC Boots then writes giant datastore.edb file slowing the computer down

-

the system i'm looking @ windows 7, 32bit.

when system boots spends ton of time reading , writing datastore.edb file located in windows\softwaredistribution\datastore directory. makes system run slow several minutes, 10 if i'm honest. if stop windows update service, within minute system stop reading , writing file , runs smoothly.

things i've tried:

i've stopped windows update, deleted file, rebooted, when windows rebuilds file until it's few hundred mb in size. once windows happy whatever it's doing, stops , disk usage , cue drop down normal levels , system whatever want plenty of speed.

i've booted safemode , run several virus scans , kaspersky's rootkit killer tool , nobody finds offensive.

should try next?

ten minutes excessive.

what should try next?

does happen @ every power-on system? happening on system or on multiple systems. if multiple systems, windows 7 systems? windows 7 x86 systems? machine have service pack 1 installed? when last time updated?
