    PC slows to a halt, disk transfers stop, internet stops

    I was copying 70GB of videos from H: drive (8TB HDD) to I: drive (8TB HDD) yesterday, and after a few minutes of copying at a rate of between 50MB/s and 180MB/s, it went down to 0MB/s, and internet access stopped. It stayed that way for about five minutes, then suddenly started copying again...

    PC slows to a halt, disk transfers stop, internet stops

    I've done everything and rebooted, now FreeFileSync appears to be working much better - I am getting at least 30MB/s on my F: and G: drives, and currently 100MB/s on my H: and I: drives (all are 8TB HDDs - F is backed up to G, and H is backed up to I). No slow downs to 0 MB/s, and no problems...

    PC slows to a halt, disk transfers stop, internet stops

    I am also wondering if I should try hardware related changes - i.e. I could disconnect four of my six HDDs and try to do a FreeFileSync between the remaining two drives, as I've had problems (over ten years ago) when I had a hard drive which prevented my PC from booting up (it wasn't the boot...

    PC slows to a halt, disk transfers stop, internet stops

    FreeFileSync has slowed down after ten minutes, to 0 bytes/sec, Average Response Time changes from 0 ms to 30,000 ms, 7,000 ms, and back to 0 ms. Even after quitting FreeFileSync (having pressed the 'Stop' button, and it ended the process correctly) the N: drive is still at 100% Active Time...

    PC slows to a halt, disk transfers stop, internet stops

    Hi, I have attached the new PCHF log, and I've used the option to remove OneDrive. I have just started running FreeFileSync again on my 8TB drive with 480GB of data to copy, I will reply in a few minutes when I've seen how it's doing.

    The error message still doesn't display when I view Network Settings.

    PC slows to a halt, disk transfers stop, internet stops

    Okay, I will run it again with just -i. I have just started trying SyncBackFree, as an alternative to FreeFileSync - in Task Manager, I am seeing a huge difference - Average Response Time on the hard drives (spinning discs, 8TB) is 3-4 ms - when using FreeFileSync, I was constantly seeing 1,000...

    Hi, I've run %userprofile%\Desktop\blackbird.exe -i -l and rebooted, and I can now view the Network Settings without the error message coming up,

    Thank you very much, I am running the Tweaks part now, it is on Disk Clean up at the moment, I will follow the rest of your instructions and get back to you, many thanks!

    PC slows to a halt, disk transfers stop, internet stops

    The copying part of FreeFileSync is performing the same as before - slowing down to 0 bytes/sec and then back up to around maybe 5MB/s max, but sticking at 0 bytes/sec for at least ten seconds, and this is while copying a file that is several GB in size, so not loads of little files (at this...

    PC slows to a halt, disk transfers stop, internet stops

    Hi, yes, it's fixed that error. I have rebooted, and am running FreeFileSync again on my 8TB drives, M and N - this time, no slow downs, it has checked almost 6 million files in 12 and a half minutes, much faster than before. Now I will run the copying part and see if that slows down, thank you...

    Yes, as administrator. I'll do the Autoruns stuff now and reboot, thanks!

    I've made sure blackbird.exe is on the desktop, and rebooted.

    Hi, I've uploaded the Autoruns file here: https://files.catbox.moe/q2ivup.arn I don't use One Drive, and I can live without Edge, if that helps! Many thanks for your continued efforts!
