I have not tried a clean install on the second drive yet should I try this? That would mean installing my backup software which I suspected as being the problem at one time. Uhhh why would you need your "backup" software if your doing a fresh install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted August 19, 2019 Veteran Share Posted August 19, 2019 FYI resource monitor can help you identify what exactly is accessing what on your disk(s). This will help you identify what exactly is going on. alternatively, process explorer can give you a lot more insight. https://tweaks.com/windows/39199/how-to-detect-what-process-is-thrashing-your-hard-drive/ This will help further identify if it is malware or some random system process/driver, then you can start asking the right questions and getting better answers vs a shotgun approach in hopes that it will resolve your issue.

In case I run into some sort of unbootable issue with the new install So now I am running a fresh install from the second hard drive and no problem but I have not installed upgrade 1903 yet. I will run it for a few hours and see if it happens again. If not I will apply the upgrade tonight and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed many of the driver dates are newer too but not completely current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devnulllore Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 So here's the latest. I installed the upgrade, 1903, and it started again. I used process explorer to monitor things and every 30+ seconds or so explorer peaks to 90+ CPU usage and everything stutters. Every now and then it crashes. So it is explorer and something to do with the the upgrade. Where do I go from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An image is not a clean install, it is a snapshot in time of when whoever built the image felt everything was fine.

When you click on the process in process explorer it will break down every file in use in association with explorer.exe see which one is causing the issue.

From what you posted, you are installing an older build than doing an in-place upgrade, no? That in-place upgrade could also be a cause of the issues.

+Matthew S. Subscriber² Posted August 20, 2019 Subscriber² Share Posted August 20, 2019 Then do you not see the issue? There may be a conflicting reason as to why the in-place starts acting weird. Try with a fresh 1903 image and go from there. Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted August 20, 2019 Supervisor Share Posted August 20, 2019 1 minute ago, devnulllore said: Yes I believe it is Which is why we're asking you to try installing the 1903 build fresh directly; not using an older build and upgrading after install. A fresh install directly with a 1903 ISO/USB may help your situation if something from the in-place upgrade is causing the issue Dick Montage and +Matthew S. 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted August 20, 2019 Veteran Share Posted August 20, 2019 If you double click on explorer exe in process explorer, and go to the threads tab you can see what is using how much cpu and narrow down to the exact dll/exe that is causing your issues. You could further narrow down to see what other dll's/exe's are being called by using the thread button. Then you can research what the dll/exe is and/or associated threads and identify/disable/rename those files so they stop being called. There could be a fix without reinstall.
