@paulaf906 It was the Intel Management Engine Interface. Installed it from the makers support page and Device Manager is finally clean. seriously made my day 馃槶馃檹
reboots are teh hard part 馃槫 tools like needrestart (Debian/Ubuntu) or needs restarting r (RHEL family) tell you whether a reboot is actually required, sooo u only reboot when needed.
oh ive been there lol check that teh drive has free space (at least 10 to 15%) and that TRIM is enabled: fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify should return 0. lmk how it goes
If its an external SSD, try a different USB port and cable. UASP issues can cause 100% active time with low throughput.
ok but what does SMART health show for the an old hard drive??
make a backup before u touch the BIOS, learned that the hard way
