Since both of your drives are from Samsung, the samsung magician program would be better suited. You can also check if there are firmware updates to the storage drives there.

What you are seeing is the storage driver from Microsoft. That is normal. The firmware is like the BIOS for the storage device. Its lower level than a driver.

I don't think you have that linked issue to be honest. Usually when flash storage devices fail, they just stop working altogether rather than working but causing errors or malfunctions.

Alright, thank you for letting me know.

I will perform a fresh Win11Pro install during this weekend and will let you know after how it went.

Do you still recommend to install 2 SSD instead of just 1 SSD like I had it at the beginning?

I also did some research and Win11Enterprise has tons of extra Security features enabled, extra policies and Virtualisation features that cannot be disabled.

Also. thanks a lot for activly helping with my issue!!

Do the new install on the new drive and only install that one as a test. Of course, I have been there with perplexing issues myself in the past. Its always nice to have someone to talk to about your ideas and thoughts on the issue.

So, win11pro with newest Win-Update is installed and i have been playing some Ow2, ffxiv and Tarkov, Just a little tho and have not noticed any stutters yet.

I have not touched anything in windows, its pretty much stock.

I also installed my daily use programms like Discord, Steelseries.gg and goxlrAPP.

I will try some Bios settings now, like enable EXPO, Disable Global C state and test further!

That's great to hear, just make sure you only do one change at a time so in the case that the stutters start again you know why the stutters started. Fingers crossed the mystery is solved!

So far i've been almost stutter free. I only noticed small microstutters in ffxiv in heavy crowded and bossfight scenes and Expedition33 when its doing auto quicksavings.
Ow2 has been no stutters at all.
Tarkov is tarkov i guess, small microstutters but at this point i think its the games fault. Especially with a OLED where i can see every little framedrop.

I will start to plug my Streamdeck and webcam in, hoping for no additional stutters!

In Bios Ive been running
Global-C State Disable
Memory Context Restore Disable
Power Down Enable
Expo with loose timings

After some additional testing, I noticed that the stuttering mainly occurs in FFXIV and Tarkov. While playing Expedition33, I experienced only one noticeable and lengthy stutter, and none after that. At this point, I believe the stuttering is just how the FFXIV and Tarkov engines operates.

Sometimes but rarely, i can play Tarkov 20mins without a single stutter.

I also enabled Global C-State since i've heard from many people that its somehow necessary for the 9800x3d.

The stuttering on tarkov is very dependant on the map and the randomness of the number AI scav spawns, player scavs loading in, whether or not the boss spawned on the map, how many loot items spawned, and so forth.
