I have a new Aspire Es15, 8GB RAM, Windows 10, 1TB hard disk.
BIos and drivers up to date.
IN the past week or so, wierdness has happened.
I get the disk high usage, and the whole PC hangs for a few seconds, annoyingly. it happens with monotonous regularity.
Looking at the Event Viewer in Windows 10, and System log, I see a LOT of Event 153 errors:
"The IO operation at logical block address for Disk 0 was retried"
OK. It's NOT a disk failing - I've run numerous tests. Also, a restore to a previous point stops it temporarily. Zfor a day or so. That's bothersome!
I've disabled Windows Defender, as I think that was not helping at all (it seemed to be doing a LOT of activity to the disk). So far so good, but it took a while for it to settle down. I'll put on a better anti-virus program anway.
Putting this out there to see if anyone else is experiencing this.
I saw some activity discussing this on some Intel forums, but they were unhelpful
I have a much, much older ALDI laptop with Windows 10, and it doesn't do this (It has Windows Defender running, and so I'm not 100% sure.
I was wondering if it's a driver issue somewhere.
