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

I recently re-installed Windows

Hi, forgive the obvious question- which build were you running before that, and was it running free of glitches?

What was the reason for clean installing- were there any performance problems?

You can try running LatencyMon (free- just search for it) just to see what it says- but what you're describing may be something quite different.

When you experience this, how busy is your machine- does the task manager show anything of interest?
Do you exerience the same after a clean boot and with minimal peripherals?

Please run this from an admin command or Powershell prompt:
chkdsk c: /scan
