Hello, I am facing a strange problem on Windows 10.
The OS shows lags and random freezes, in particular with multimedia applications like Netflix (both dedicated app and browser, tested on edge, chrome and firefox) but also with VLC and other media players. The same problems appear randomly when browsing webpages with embedded videos but not on youtube. Basically the pc freezes for a couple of seconds and then it goes back to normal conditions for a few seconds, then it freezes again and so on.
I noticed that the problem disappears when I change the settings related to the pagefile dimension (by setting custom dimension or disabling it) but then after a couple of reboots the problem appears again.
All my drivers are up to date, moreover it is not a problem related to malware because I tried to reinstall the OS from scratch and the problem is still there.
Windows Version: 10.0.17763 build 17763
Fun fact: I also run an Ubuntu virtual machine inside Windows (using virtualbox) and it does not show any of these problems. Netflix works perfectly as any other media content.
Current hardware configuration:
CPU AMD Phenom II X4 960T (not overclocked, it is perfectly stable)
24 GB RAM DDR3 1600 MHz (tested with memtest, they are ok)
AMD R9 280X GPU (latest drivers installed, not overclocked)
250 GB Samsung SSD
LG 21:9 29" monitor + Asus 21.5" 16:9 monitor
