00110100 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Whenever I start AIDA64 through the Windows 10 Task Scheduler and I run the CPU+FPU+cache test under SST the entire interface of SST will become Not Responding for a few seconds then it will begin. However the interface is laggy meaning the line graphs update every 7-12 seconds and the Elasped Time counter will update every 8-12 seconds. Trying to click through the tabs will cause a 2-3 second lag. When I start AIDA64 normally either from the desktop shortcut or aida64.exe inside the installation directory, SST is not laggy when Started, the line graph updates every second so does the Elasped Timer and the tabs are responsive. I have a laptop with Windows 7 and I did the same steps to try and see if the bug exists and it doesn't. So it has something to do with Windows 10's Task Scheduler not playing nicely with AIDA64's SST when a stress has been Started? NOTE: It doesn't matter if it's "Load AIDA64 on Windows startup" option is used or a manual Task Scheduler task is set, the issue persists for Windows 10.

Fiery Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I guess either the AIDA64.EXE process or the SST/benchmark process (AIDA_BENCH64.DLL or AIDA_BENCH32.DLL) may get started with a sub-optimal priority setting through the Task Scheduler. The main process that also updates the SST interface (AIDA64.EXE) has to have a higher priority setting than the SST process. By default the main process uses the Normal priority level, and the SST process uses the Below Normal priority level. However, if for some reason they use the same priority level or the SST process uses a higher priority level than the main process, then the SST interface update will not get enough CPU cycles from the Windows kernel scheduler, which will make the SST interface jerky/lagging.

Regards, Fiery I see, do you also experience the same issue? My solution is to just start AIDA64 manually everytime I reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't think the difference between Windows 7 and Windows 10 across your computers is the key to this issue. It's rather the hardware difference. Can you please tell us more about your Windows 10 computer? Motherboard model, CPU type, video card(s) model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. We'll check it on a similar Sandy Bridge configuration soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme available at: https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
