P: LRC - system drive used at 100% - process identification needed
Dears - some time ago I've posted a similar topic, which as I thought was solved - but as it came out, not completelly. I still need your hep / support - as currently it is so annoying I'm thinking of changing the platform 😞 Sorry for the lenght of the thread - but everything needs to be as clear as possible 😞
In short words - the original thread is here
Just to be clear with sytem specs:
Windows 11
Ryzen 9 7950x
Radeon RX 7900xt
32GB RAM DDR5
System drive NvME 256GB Kingston - where LRC and PS are installed. about 70GB free disk space (new firmware installed)
Drive for RAW files, and a lrc catlogue is a separate SSD, connected via SATA (2TB Total), cache (100GB). So basically all oferations are done not on a system drive, but on a separate SSD drive.
All options of performance tab using GPU checked for full support.
LRC always at latest version - but the issue persists for several months already - so version doesn't change anything.
ISSUE is: During photoediting in lrc, the software freezes for 2-3s (randomly - when changing photo / adjusting exposure / while applying masks) - in general no role as of when, and why. During that freeze task manages shows sudden read / write operations on system drive (where the software is located), that takes up 100% system drive capacity - spikes that last for few seconds (task manager show 250-300 MB/s ssd read / write activity) - after which the usage goes back to 2-5% and the soft runs smoothly.
It was suggested that it might be spotify running in the background, or windos defender. But adjusting options / disabling did not solve the issue permanently - it still occurs.
THE DEVELOPMENT of finding the issue. I've installed "process explorer" to try to find the thread, or a process that runs during this issue. And althought I did not find out if there is any file read or wrote during the 100% drive usage, I found out, that along theese freezes there are 3 main dll files being suspicially overactive (they ofen pop out as CPU most active threads under lightroom.exe process freezes). Theese are:
ntdll.dll
uctrbase.dll
substrate.dll
Can it be, that theese libraries are the main cause of the issue? What are they responsible for - is it possible to identify a solution, based on theese 3 files activity?
Any help will be apreciated - if I can't solve the issue I am afraid I will switch to alternative software - as I can't work in such conditions. 😞
