I noticed this solution some months ago, tried it then and today and it didn't correct the problem. Today I have extreme typing lag in MS Word. The last time this happened I updated Windows and the problem was fixed. I suspect that Windows update "preparing security options" is causing both of the problems---the whine and the typing lag.

I feel like the whining is the hard drive. I allowed some updates to download today. When the download started, the whine increased. When the download was finished the whine went down. Trouble is, it whines most of the time, making me think it's not happy about my postponing updates. Thoughts?
