Windows 10: High latency followed by disappearance of logical partition on disk

System old: Intel Core i7; 12GB RAM; 477GB SSD NVMe; Win 11Pro version 24H2, last cumulative update KB5058411.For some time I have observed long delays in executin file-related commands directory calls; opena dn save calls, etc.. I also have had more frequent period of the logical D: drive suddenly vanishing. Today, I connected the two problems. With the D: directory open, when a long "please wait" action resolved to an error message, the drive then simply disappeared. After attempting corrective actions -- chkdsk /f, a utility Avira to check registry integrity, multiple reboots --

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

 

storport.sys high latency

Hello, Nico Koss

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

High DPC (Deferred Procedure Call) latency can indeed cause the issues you're experiencing. The `storport.sys` driver is related to storage port I/O, and high latency in this driver can lead to system freezes and audio glitches.

As suggested by LatencyMon, disable any CPU throttling settings in the BIOS. This includes settings like AMD Cool N Quiet and Intel Speed Step. These settings can sometimes interfere with real-time performance. Back up your important files in advance, just in case.

You can also check SATA Ports. Some users reported that moving their SSD to different SATA ports on their motherboard helped reduce latency. If you have other drives connected, try disconnecting them and see if the issue persists.

In addition, high-performance power plans can sometimes help reduce latency issues. Go to Control Panel (You can search it in Start menu) > Power Options and select a high-performance plan.

If the problem persists, consider reaching out to MSI support for further assistance:
