Usually my system performs fine. However, periodically, there are temporary performance drops. Basically the Task Manager shows 100% HDD usage and the culprits invariably turn out to be system related processes like:
MsMpEng.exe
Antimalware Service ExecutableAppXSvc
AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC)svchost.exe
Service Host: Superfetchntoskrnl.exe
SystemCompatTelRunner.exe
Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry- And others.
I don't what is Windows doing - scanning my computer for threats with Windows Defender, downloading and installing updates, defragging HDD - but whatever it is I hope its not going kill my HDD anytime soon and can Windows please do all of this while I'm afk and certainly not when I play League of Legends!
I can't help but notice Linux Mint doesn't experience these periodical performance drops. This persists for a few years already, I'm frankly fed up with this.
Can anything be done to alleviate this issue?
