    Random small freezes and stutters (Windows 10 Pro)


    Hey there,

    Any ideas why there's an occasional random freeze and stutter on my machine? My specs are up to date.

    Would it be:

    1. Number of external hard drives connected? I have 3.
    2. My wireless mouse? I've never used a wireless mouse before, so I don't know if it's my system doing that or a connection issue. I use the USB Dongle on my Logitech Triathlon mouse.
    3. I recently re-installed Windows. Am I missing some kind of driver?

    I'm running Windows 10 Pro Version 1909.

    Let me know whatever other specifics I can provide.

    Cheers,

    David

    :)

    Win 10 CU (not FCU) stutters and freezes a lot with various operations


    I get momentary freezes and stuttering with a range of Windows menu operations. *sarc These are the ones that are top of mind but I'm sure there are others. Win 10 Pro 64, up to date on patches.



    • Xing out a FireFox tab
    • Click on FILE menu (drop down is delayed)
    • FILE > Print (printer list or print menu is delayed)
    • Selecting a higher level on the file path in the SAVE menu
    • Search menu at bottom of Windows
    • Typing in many situations.

    Any suggestions? Or this this a known problem in Win 10? I've had this problem for some time, but lately it has gotten me really PO'ed.*Confused

    Thank you for the information, Neil. To address your concern regarding the random freezes that's happening on your computer, we suggest performing the steps below, and check if the experience will be the same:

    • Sign in using an administrator account in your Windows 10 computer.
    • Disable or uninstall any anti-virus that you've installed to prevent it from interfering with the upgrade to Windows 10.
    • Reinstall Windows 10.

    Small Freezes at Random Times

    its your hard drives going into an idle state, its in the power controls in windows control panel.

    the lag spikes are while the system waits for the HDD's to power back up - the time difference is just varying because of how many drives are idling
