Greetings.
I’m running into a bizarre issue that I can't find a solution for anywhere; it feels like it's happening exclusively to me.
Basically, I've noticed my data transfer speeds drop by nearly half, and the only way to temporarily fix it is to reboot the system.
When everything is functioning normally, copying files from one hard drive to another exceeds 100 MB/s. Once the slowdown hits, those speeds won't climb above 65 MB/s.
The same thing happens when moving files to an external drive or a USB stick. For instance, under normal conditions, USB transfer speeds hit about 40 MB/s, but during a slowdown, they crawl at around 15 MB/s.
Even after the slowdown occurs, CrystalDiskMark still reports healthy speeds across all my drives.
It isn't limited to just file transfers, either. I've noticed other minor glitches. For example, if I open an image in Adobe Photoshop and try to overwrite it, there's a second-and-a-half delay before the confirmation prompt appears. When things are running normally, that window pops up instantly.
While monitoring Task Manager, I spotted something interesting. When speeds are normal and I start a copy operation, I see the Available Memory decrease in the performance tab. Once the transfer finishes, that number returns to its previous level.
However, when the slowdown happens and I attempt a copy, the Available Memory isn't utilized at all. This issue seems strictly tied to file copying and saving operations, because opening additional tabs in Chrome still causes the Available Memory to drop as expected.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?
