Update Windows 10 to Creators update and added Norton Power Eraser for on demand scan. Very happy with Edge now!

Strange 100% disk activity and 5 seconds freeze after Windows CU update, I clean install and issue is present, another clean install with all security software removed, but issue is present. Yesterday I try to manually update most driver and no more freeze, anyway my security setup is now different.
Removed: Avast, Comodo Firewall
Added: Voodoshield Free, Windows Defender, Sphinx W10 FC Free and Sandoboxie free.

Stop Antivirus xD
Added: Vodooshield Free, Opera Browser
Removed: Avast Free (useless with CF, i just added VS for funny and i see that CF si faster to block Eicar Test File, then CF is the first line and VS the last line of defence or viceversa), Edge (not removed really, but i see over 1G of Ram usage and this is a NO-NO ;), i try Opera and look very nice).

Just scan file or system with my battery of on demand scanning tool (never found a virus).
