Re: Windows 8

Win8 issue and maybe other Windows OS...

I have been running Win8 and Hoster for awhile now and haven't had many issues until recently.

My CPU usage would spike to 96,97,98% and cause audio to start cutting out as well as lyrics becoming out of synch.

I was finally able to determine the culprit. A little system file called "defragsvc"(Service=optimize drives).
Would appear in Task Manager as Service Host: Disk Defragmenter

If anyone else experiences this, follow these steps:
Open Task Manager
Click Services Tab
Find defragsvc in list
Right Click and select Open Service
Services Window appears
Locate Optimize drives
Right Click
Select Properties
Select Startup Type=DISABLED
Click OK
