Avast Service consuming all Disk cycles...
« on: May 15, 2019, 11:18:35 PM »
Hum, looks like my last post was removed?

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 :

1) Download xperf or wpa package it is win dependent so if you have win 7 download xperf for win 7 !

2) 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 !

3) Stop profiling
xperf.exe -stop user -stop -d streetscooby_merged.etl

4) Zip the streetscooby_merged.etl to streetscooby_5_2019.zip and upload it  to ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming ( https://support.avast.com/en-eu/article/FTP-file-upload )

Thank you for report.
