PC stops working properly for about ten minutes during game launches.
My PC runs an i7 9700K with MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon 64Gb. It features Intel 660p 1TB M.2 SSD and a 7200 RPM MSI Gaming X Trio 2070 Super drive. Recently, while playing League of Legends, my system lagged, taking 3-5 minutes to start after closing the client. After restarting, it worked normally. On Friday, I tried Diablo 4 beta; launching took 5-10 minutes via Battle.net. While loading, nothing happened except unresponsiveness. Opening apps or browsing caused issues. Task manager showed drives dropping to zero, CPU at 5%, memory unchanged. Once games started, performance improved. This repetitive delay is becoming bothersome. I've performed a clean install, defragged the HDD, checked RAM, and updated drivers—no improvement. For comparison, LoL uses the SSD, while Diablo runs on the HDD.
