Thanks! While I can't swear to it in court it appears that after following your two suggestions, and several hours of using Windows 10 Anniversary Edition, the temporary lock ups I was getting have ceased. I was lurking in these forums for days, hoping to hear of an update. I exported the registry setting so as to have a backup, then changed it as specified. I also changed my Power setting to High performance. So far so good. Windows is even faster to respond after rebooting/booting. I have a nice Mushkin Striker SSD so I was concerned over the last few weeks as to what was the deal with my slower times to getting a responsive desktop.unic0der wrote:Update:
I have continued my own trouble-shooting over the last days and think I might have found a solution to my problem with system hangs (with 100% disk utilization):
1) According to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3083595 "Task Manager might show 100% disk utilization on Windows 10 devices with Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI) mode enabled" the trick is to disable MSI for the SATA Controller.
2) I have switched the Energy Settings of the PC from Policy "Optimized" to "High Performance".
So far, things are running stable with MSI disabled and the changed Energy policy - no more hangs in the last couple of hours (which has almost been impossible before).
Will report back in a few days, if we can consider this case solved. As for now it looks like Primocache isn't at fault at all. The only strange question open is: Why on earth did this problem only start to appear after the Redstone update.
