It seems what's happening with VLC is that it initially buffers a particular section of the video, the disk active time goes up to 100% with 0 Read and write speeds and response time. So I presume that the VLC buffer does not refresh with new data from the disk which is probably the cause. Is it...

Tried both of those two changes simultaneously and still having problems while watching videos on MPC-HC. The video freezes occasionally and so does the PC and I'm not able to do anything with it. VLC on the other hand exhibited a slightly different behavior. The video would stop playing but the...

I had some free time today so I upgraded. I'm trying both of the two changes. Will report after a couple of days if there are any problems. @^Thanks

Hi guys, does anyone have any updates about this? I just recently found this: hard drive - Windows 8.1 Update 1 Disk Usage 100% - Super User It suggests disabling both superfetch and prefetch in the registry. If anyone has Windows 8.1 and is experiencing the same problems, could you please...

When I bought this laptop and upgraded to 8 immediately, I had this same problem. Then I rectified it with that PCI express setting. Try that if that works. I think later updates fixed this issue cause I've long since reinstalled win8 and I don't need that fix anymore. Also, check if the Intel...

Tried both approaches. Still doesn't work. I'm really surprised as 8 doesn't have issues and both 8.1 and 8.1 update do. I didn't realize that there were such drastic changes in the overall framework.

Hey, thanks for the responses. I've tried the superfetch method. Didn't work for me. How exactly did you disable OneDrive? I had tried disable they sync in the settings and also the onedrive service. Thanks again. EDIT: Followed this...

Sighs. I've tried nearly all the solutions online to no avail. I think I'm just going to revert back to Windows 8 until I find another solution for this.

Still can't isolate the source of the issue or get back to a stable configuration. Anyone have any insights on this? Any tests or data that I can get which would be useful in debugging the problem? Thanks.

So updates on this. I installed Hyper V which was also suggested as a solution. It's on high performance. For some reason, the fingerprint reader is disabled (not my doing) and it appears pretty stable. Oddly when I installed VMware it messed up the confirmation and I had trouble getting it back...

Hey guys. I've been having some major problems with Windows 8.1 (and 8.1 Update) which never occurred to me in Windows 8. What essentially happens is that the computer completely freezes up and I know that the disk usage goes to 100% as does the active time but the read speed/write speed and...
