Jaguarek62 Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) I don't know what to do. My hdd activity light is flasing so rapidly and I have no idea why. Superfetch is turned off, indexing is turned off, defender is turned off, WU is turned off yet "SYSTEM" is making huge amounts of I/O operations. This is a clean install mind you with esu updates, no extended kernel yet installed. the laptop is also slow compared to windows 8.1. opening a browser takes around 6-11 seconds (Mozilla firefox 52) compared to almost instantly on 8.1. Any help is welcome EDIT: HDD defrag is also disabled Edited December 17, 2020 by Jaguarek62
Win10-Hater Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Are you manually trimming your SSD? I do manual trim almost 4-5 times on a daily basis and this has not happened to me since then.

Note that my install of Vista on SSD is updated until Jan 2020 ( before esu updates started arriving )

I think Corsair offers an SSD toolbox that performs manual trim and supports Windows XP through 10 Otherwise, you can use SSD tweaker pro (that's what I use) 2

System is still doing weird I/O. I'm losing my mind over this. Edited December 17, 2020 by Jaguarek62

Win10-Hater Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Is indexing completely disabled via services.msc? I used to experience this issue when I had it enabled Edited December 17, 2020 by Win10-Hater
