Windows 10 second freezes?
Good afternoon.
I recently purchased an Asus FX503 laptop:
i7 7700HQ
16Gb DDR4
GTX 1050 4Gb
1Tb hybrid HDD with SSD for 8GB cache. The
laptop came from the factory without a system, installed the official Win 10 Pro, without cracks, activators and other things, activated with an official key. However, the joy was short, as short system freezes for 5-10-15 seconds began almost immediately. Having searched the expanses of the network, I found the option of changing the SATA interface to AHCI through the BIOS, but this did not work, I ask for help and options for solving the problem.
My hypotheses:
1) I blame the hybrid that it works crookedly, or I didn’t install some kind of driver that I don’t even suspect
2) Changing the interface did not give results without reinstalling Windows

The problem was solved to the banal simply. In Yandex.browser, hardware acceleration was disabled and all browser live wallpapers + drivers were installed from the Asus website.
Searching through the expanses of the network, I found the option of changing the SATA interface to AHCI through the BIOS, but this did not give results.This had to be done in any case, because there will be no full-fledged use of the disk without AHCI.
quite recently, I also had an ASUS laptop and it had a similar problem, except that it hung for a smaller number of seconds (up to 5 seconds). (note only on Windows, on Linux it seemed to be the norm). I installed the main SSD, it got better, but every time the HDD was actively used, the problem recurred, although there was a shift that was not quite "usual": everything was not completely blocked (that is, I could move the mouse and do the simplest operations, but with (compared to) fps about 4-6). I solved the problem simply: I gave the laptop to my sister, I took thinkpad for myself
Yes, it's possible that the hybrid drive is to blame - when the cache runs out, it starts actively writing the contents of the cache, hence the freezes.
Try updating the drive's firmware.
To accurately identify the culprit, you need to change the disk to a regular one.
I also have a hybrid one in my laptop (ST1000LX015), but it is a second disk, under the normal system. I didn't see any such delays.
