Windows 8.1 hangs when opening Disk Management

Whenever I open "Disk Management" in Windows 8.1 x64 with PrimoCache 1.0.1 installed, the system will hang.

I can continue to move the mouse cursor, but the GUI becomes unresponsive, clicking anything doesn't result in a reaction. Alt+Tab still works for switching between open windows, but Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work to get to the task manager.

I eventually have to hard reset the computer.

Windows event log shows "Crash dump initialization failed!" from volmgr (Event ID 46) around the time of the hang. I run a board with Intel Z68 chipset using the 12.9 RST drivers.

After uninstalling Primocache it works without issues.
