A buggy Windows 11 update keeps slowing down SSDs
- fifteen1506 3y agoHappily Microsoft has lots of QA working for free nowadays, so this should be fixed rather soonish.
- jiggawatts 3y agoAnd we’ll be informed of their findings by the technical writing team in detailed release notes.
- DougN7 3y agoThe article is pretty light on details. Does anyone have any specific information about this? Me drives seem slow too, but I might just be impatient.
- flerchin 3y agoYes the entirety of the sources for the article appears to be random reddit users.
- ChuckNorris89 3y agoAnecdotally I'm on the latest update and haven't noticed any SSD slowdown. Still cold-boots in 5 seconds and Crystal disk benchmarks within the spec of the SSD. Maybe it's some weird edge case on certain SSDs, certain FW, and certain apps, but the the quality of the article is just empty trash.
- b112 3y agoI can imagine a reality, where it was started by an amazon fraudulent seller, who then, when people complain, claims it is windows... not the SSD. And points them to that page.
- ChuckNorris89 3y agoYou made that up but that does sound like a real story that could actually happen.
- helf 3y agoI have multiple machines with sata and nvme ssds across multiple generations of intel and AMD chips with no issues. I hate random reddit news
- gopher_space 3y agoI’m using win 11 preview (testing wslg, it’s sweet) and it'll randomly peg out the SSD writing to some logs for as long as I’ll let it. Win 11 as a whole seems janky and unnecessary. The new right click menu is a perfect microcosm.
- Yhippa 3y agoFeels like a lot of internet "articles" these days.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoI suppose that the real news story would be that they've found some subreddits that haven't gone dark or been sabotaged in the protest.
- whalesalad 3y agoI've experienced some slowdowns recently, too. Samsung 970 Evo nvme ssd + i7-12700k.
- rincebrain 3y agoIt wouldn't surprise me if they did something like removing a banned list entry for a common SSD manufacturer thinking a known issue was resolved, and surprise, they were incorrect. e: A more interesting prospect, potentially, would be if they had some runaway logging thing somewhere in some cases that was blowing the SLC caching capabilities on a lot of SSDs, leaving you with the MLC/TLC/QLC/etc performance.
- Night_Thastus 3y agoDetails would definitely be nice. Maybe we'll get lucky and Gamers Nexus will have already poked at it a bit since they're active in the hardware investigation space.
- JohnClark1337 3y agoAh, so others have been having this problem too. My work computer has been taking about 2 minutes to fully boot up (with ssd) after the march update when it used to just take a few seconds. Unfortunately it's my work computer so I don't have admin access and have just been living with it.
- doubt_me 3y agoRtx 3060 + i9 + 16gb ram + 2TB 980 + 500gb 980 My laptop slowed down but more like "hiccups" it's extremely annoying and super obvious it's because of updates. Before it was smooth. Actually insanely fast. Now after the updates doesn't matter what software tricks or updates I do. It's just not as fast as it used to be period.
