jaja Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 so lately I have been experiencing some video hiccups and freezes while playing videos on chrome and then it developed to general stuttering and laggyness of the OS on my windows machine , so I looked up the task manager performance tab and I noticed the disk usage is at 100% even though it is an SSD, I checked the Resource Monitor and noticed that chrome process is constantly reading synwinhk.dll. I killed chrome processes tree along with synergy and the disk usage went back to normal ( 0% ), fired up chrome again and everything seems to work just fine. so what is happening here? I only use extensions from the chrome store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amatyr Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Oh, wow. I just noticed the same thing and I think it explains some disk access stuttering I've been having with my SSD. Constant reading by chrome.exe of C:\Program Files\Synergy\synwinhk.dll when I look at Disk Activity. Sits there reading it at around 250,000 B/sec. Synergy: 1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2 Chrome Version 73.0.3683.103 (Official Build) (64-bit) OS: Windows 10 Pro Build 17134.706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaja Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 This forum is a ghost town. Will decompile the file and have a look inside maybe I can make sense of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
