I'm using my backup laptop as my HP is down for the moment. It's Toshiba satellite C850D on LL 3.4. I haven't updated it for months if not a year. On start up it runs horribly slow. If I restart I get a message of 'unattended upgrade in progress. do not turn off computer.' If left it take over 30 mins to restart. I can stop it with cont/alt/del & on reboot it has gone. It will sometimes resume later in the day. It's very noticeable that the fan suddenly goes into overdrive & everything grinds to a halt.
Once started, by checking 'resource usage', I can see the following using upto 170% CPU:
pid :1098 user: root Command: /user/bin/python3 /user/bin/unattended-upgrade
Nothing shows in task manager using anything more than single figure CPU% but CPU at the top is flat out 100% almost all the time.
My question's are : what is this unattended upgrade ? & why is it running without my initiating it ? (One main reason I ditched windows was stuff running in the background, eating resources, that I had no control over.)
