I still have no idea what 'recent change' causes the freezing/stuttering, nor do I know how to reproduce it. Hopefully, when more people report it, we find a pattern.
Sorry for the lack of system info. In hindsight of course that will help with debugging. I reinstalled my motherboard drivers and that seems to have solved the problem I was experiencing. The event viewer gave the following error: "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\RaidPort1."
The UI for it has never been built properly so what we have atm is kindof a stopgap that does a poor job of explaining what’s going on. The only time you can see how many violations you have is when you get another one. The message will tell you the total number that you currently have.
Yes I have had some reports about the updates not occurring but am having a hard time finding out the cause as I cannot locally reproduce it and the logs do not indicate anything wrong.
