"24-core CPU and I can’t move my mouse [on Windows 10]"

[moinmoin]

This story begins when I noticed that my machine was behaving poorly. My Windows 10 work machine has 24 cores (48 hyper-threads) and they were 50% idle. It has 64 GB of RAM and that was less than half used. It has a fast SSD that was mostly idle. And yet, as I moved the mouse around it kept hitching – sometimes locking up for seconds at a time.

Ridiculous but funny corner case regression in Windows 10 from previous Windows versions where process destruction appears to be no longer parallelized thus locking the machine.

Interesting read, I always knew previous windows behaved differently WRT HID. Hopefully the fix is rolled into the fall update...
