A tool designed to detect and correct Windows ports.
Soemtimes windows hangs for a few minutes, I would love to know why, this is a SSD so fragmentation is a no, the registery or a background process. Just need a way to scan for the issue(s). I think something is loading, the curser turns into a hourglass when it happens, but nothing appears on screen besides that.
Check your system files using a utility. Connect to the update service and run a scan of your current files for comparison and repair. In the command prompt (run with admin rights): DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth SFC /scannow. After that, open Task Manager and ensure there are minimal startup openings, then restart your computer.
When Windows freezes, it often depends on an app or a driver tied to the underlying hardware interrupt (IRQ). It's usually due to a storage component, especially an SSD. For certain SSD models, you might want to use diagnostic tools to assess drive health (SMART data). You can also run WhySoSlow and LatencyMon to investigate further.
I possess it from SK Hynix Gold S31 1TB SATA Gen3 2.5 inch Internal SSD. It supports up to 560MB/S and uses the compact 2.5" form factor. When I first installed it on January 12, 2020, Windows worked well at first. For scanning purposes, a suitable Linux tool would be needed, likely something like `fsck` or `chkdsk`, depending on the system setup.
Review the Windows Event Viewer for system logs, focusing on any I/O errors related to storage. If found, locate the problematic drive that may be affecting system performance, even if it isn't actively used by you at that moment. Refer to the provided links for detailed information. Use PowerShell commands to extract device details such as DeviceId and FriendlyName from elevated sessions.
Crystaldisk confirms the drive is okay. You can save a file in EV and share it here. If you open Task Manager and note how the list appears, that’s where you should look. No major issues detected, but double-check if needed.
