Sudden and temporary slowdowns. .exe processes "not responding"
Hi guys,
Have been working on this issue for a few days, but I cant seem to get anywhere. Im on a fresh install of windows 10 pro. Occasionally, I will experience an intense but temporary slow down. Every 20-40 minutes roughly. The system runs smooth as butter besides this. Ive noticed it while using chrome and also while playing arma3. I have not had much time to test it in other programs, but it seems to involve cpu intense processes. In chrome this happens when I open the program or load a new page. When I check the .exe process under my cpu tab in Perfmon it show the .exe as not responding. The program does recover after about 20-30 seconds without completely crashing. Disk usage is high during this hang and also the CPU light on my case is going warp speed. I monitor the performance monitor disk/cpu/memory tabs during this hang. Nothing seems out of the ordinary except that the .exe temporarily shows "not responding" under the cpu tab.
Thing I have tried:
Full defrag
limiting page filing
freeing up physical memory
system file checker
removing any overclocks
Malware scan
turning off any and all non essential features and apps via the setting menu
updating all my drivers: windows updates, motherboard, video card etc.
System specs are in my profile.
Please help me get my buttery smooth system back. This has only began to occur since installing windows 10. THanks a bunch. Lemme know if I can help you, help me.
