As the title says, is anyone making progress on this? A quick google search shows an enormous amount of people are struggling to figure it out. I mean, has MS even addressed this? I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.
Here's a list of things I've tried... All to no avail.
- disable various services (superfetch, prefetch, win search, BITS)
- change virtual memory management size from auto / pc managed to custom (to fit the 8gb of RAM I have)
- scan computer for malware with malware bytes (multiple times, 100% clean)
- check disk for errors (run a few times, zero issues)
- defrag (multiple times, no issues)
- remove junk / temp files / use something like CCcleaner
- remove third party AV software (avast)
- run memory diagnostic (clean as a whistle)
- check startup programs to see if anything is hogging resources at boot (nothing there significant)
- make sure system maintenance isn't running at the time (it isn't)
Here's the key issue though. This problem almost ALWAYS occurs after a period where the computer is idle. It's almost as if the computer being idle triggers this issue. So perhaps the issue relates to automatic maintenance? But.. I've made sure all my maintenance stuff is scheduled for times when I'm not using the computer.
I'm running out of ideas honestly. I've read through more threads / posts on the internet about this issue than I probably should have, because it's feeling like a huge waste of time. Every single thread contains the same information. I've tried EVERYTHING.
Will Windows 10 be like this? Can we at least hope for something better? Maybe a hard drive upgrade (to SSD) is the only real solution? That's depressing though because this laptop is slightly over a year old, and I don't want to sink 200 dollars into it and have way less storage space. Plus. aren't SSD's prone to failure? I've heard they wear out quickly and aren't as reliable as HDD's.
