SYMPTOMS

You install Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) Server on a computer that is running Windows 7 or that is running Windows Server 2008 R2. In this situation, when you perform lots of remote reads on the MSMQ server for some time by using another computer, MSMQ may become unresponsive and stop processing. Additionally, the mqsvc.exe process consumes high CPU usage.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because of an error in the Mqqm.dll file. When multiple threads try to open remote queues at the same time, MSMQ Queue Manager may set a timer on a scheduler item two times.
