  1. SSD Disappears and Programs stop responding / have to force reboot


    Hello,

    I've had this issue for months now.. I bought a new Samsung EVO 850 500gb SSD last year and it worked for almost 6 months till i had an issue with it just disappearing and i couldn't install anything on it.. so i replaced it thinking nothing of the issue once replaced.. now the problem is back but not as bad.. I bought this drive about a month or two ago and now it's just disappearing and programs began to not respond and also freezes my PC till i do a hard reboot ( press the restart button on the tower)

    I'm not sure what to do anymore as I'm convinced this may be unrelated to my SSD or I'm just having very bad luck with these SSD's.. the old one i replaced i have tested on another PC and it works fine.. I've tried changing the cable along with the sata port and no difference here.. only made it work for about an hour or two till the issues reoccurred when i was playing a game and textures of the characters disappeared and i couldn't pause or exit the game.. and when my PC rebooted.. the SSD disappeared.. the only way i can get it to show up again is by resetting the bios to default settings.

    plus I'm getting some artifacts on a program where the minimize and exit button are white boxes.. just tons of weird things going on..also I've been prompted to check the drive for errors and it's repaired itself a few times now and apparently is in good health from what Samsung Magician is telling me.. I'll list screenshots of the S.M.A.R.T. test here.. for both SSD Drives.My main OS SSD is a Samsung EVO 850 250gb and the 500gb is for my games.. any help would be highly appreciated.

    :)

    Windows 10 taskbar stops responding since recent update

    I updated my computer on 9 May. Since then, I have had intermittent problems with the task bar freezing. Whichever Microsoft Office programs I have open at the time also stop responding (Word or Excel). When I close programs, the name disappears from the
    task bar, but an empty box with the program logo remains. A forces restart is the only thing that fixes it. It always says it is waiting for GDI+ to close, and I need to force it to.

  3. What is InstallShield® Update Service Scheduler?

    Yes the issue still persists, I even tried doing a clean install of windows but the file reappears again. The connection works properly most of the time, the problem starts after I force stop the program or if the program stops responding or if I delete
    the file.
