I am encountering situations where the Avast Service is consuming all of my disk cycles (according to Task Manager). This goes on for up to 10 minutes, and it’s happening on a regular basis now. Any idea what needs to be done to fix this?
Hi StreetScooby,
may I ask you to capture xperf and upload it for analysis.
Here are steps you need to do :
Download xperf or wpa package it is win dependent so if you have win 7 download xperf for win 7 !
Start cmd as admin and type to start profiling:
xperf.exe -on DiagEasy+DISPATCHER+Profile -stackwalk profile+CSwitch+ReadyThread -start user -on 72AA3505-D4D6-4527-A088-92534DA1082C
… Induce the issue !
Stop profiling
xperf.exe -stop user -stop -d streetscooby_merged.etl
