I have an NVME, 3 SSDs and 4 HDDs.
I have tested using only an NVME or only an SSD (different hard drives), or just a hdd. The issue still occurs.
Is Fast Boot enabled, do you use Hibernation? Anything else connected via PCIe?
- Fast Boot is disabled
- I do put my PC to sleep mode.
- I've tried removing every single component in my PC. Leaving it to bare bones (only an NVME for storage). Formatting the PC multiple times and booting with bare bones and testing. Still occurs
- I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, custom drivers, even replacing entire PC or individual components of a PC.
I've ran a LOT of xperfs to try and see if I can narrow the issue down, but everything is running normally. No latency issues. No strange disk usage. Everything seems to be working as normal. If I run an xperf or any latency tests when the issue is not occurring compared to when it is. There is no difference.
I've had this issue occur on multiple PCs. I even replaced most of this PC and the issue is still occurring.
It's very much a problem with how memory is being handled IMO, as when I use RAMMap to clear everything. Everything seems to work as normal.
* I have tried different page file sizes and no page file. The issue still remains.
I don't know how many other people are having this issue... but I'm surprised EVERYONE isn't having this issue. I've done every test I can think of and I can only think it's something in Windows that I'm not aware of or this is a common issue.
Can you test with a fixed size page file of 1024 on each drive and supply usage stats and any differences seen/heard/felt for 2-3 sessions?
I have NOT tried 1024 page file size. I'll do that now and let you know how it goes.
