Based on how the software is written (for example, if it's poorly programmed), it could cause your hard drives to activate all at once, forcing the operating system to pause until they start up. This might involve drivers, background tasks, or update services. I’m not suggesting this is your case, but you seem to have a well-functioning system after a fresh install. It could be related to outdated drivers, a faulty SATA controller, or other software components. Ideally, try updating everything via Windows Update and see if the issue persists. Keep things tidy—just install drivers when necessary, avoid unnecessary programs like GeForce Experience or 3D Vision.
I'm preparing to confirm your request and will reorganize the 500GB for a clean setup.
We just reinstalled it. We'll check what happens in a few days. It's surprising we still have so many services running.
Since the Creators Update, Microsoft pauses the process of reorganizing services (provided you have enough RAM). This helps pinpoint memory leaks and clarifies which service uses CPU, network, and disk resources. It strengthens security by preventing one compromised service from affecting others linked to the same process. If a service fails, it won’t bring down other regrouped services. Once your system is running smoothly, ensure all updates are applied. Keep track of any new installations and monitor performance shifts from those additions to help locate the issue.
