Hello all, I've been having a ah heck of a time trying to figure this out, and so far nothing has worked.
My SSD has been freezing my computer recently. Everything will suddenly stop responding, though things will still work for a bit, say if I'm watching a video, that will still work, but keyboard inputs, mouse clicks, nothing will respond. It's almost completely random, or at least I have no idea what triggers the freeze, and it usually only lasts a minute or so, but its really annoying and I'm worried it might be damaging my disk.
I've been researching what could cause this, and trying to fix it myself, but so far nothing has worked. Turn off Superfetch? Done, still freezing. Disable Windows Defender? Yep, still freezing. Turn off notifications, disable Cortana, scan for Malware, scan for Toolkits, scan for Virus', switch out SSD's to a new one with a clean install, and reinstall programs in safe mode one at a time until the freeze appears again... it's still happening.
I'm honestly at my wits end here. One thing I have noticed is that, when people post screenshots of the problem they're having, it's not the same as the problem I'm having:
Other people's screenshots will have a read/write speed, but mine doesn't. Same with active response time, it's flatlined here and I have no idea why.
I've checked with Task Manager what processes are using the disk when the freeze is happening, and none of them are, all my process stop dead, no accessing the disk or using the CPU, nothing.
Oh, and it's not just happening to my SSD, both of my HDD's have had the issue appear as well, and both will also freeze the computer.
This issue only started happening after I did the Windows 10 update, and at this point the only thing I haven't done is go back to Windows 7, but honestly, I think I have to, cause nothing I've tried has worked and nowhere I've looked has the right answer.
