That might be just Windows related problems, but I will drop it here, my specifications:
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16 Core CPU (3.4GHz-4.9GHz/72MB CACHE/AM4)
Motherboard
ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0) - ARGB Ready!
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3600MHz (4 x 8GB)
Graphics Card
10GB ASUS ROG STRIX GEFORCE RTX 3080 - HDMI, DP
Lots of hiccups in performance. Graphic card stress test and temperatures are fine so far, CPU usage normal. But I noticed stutter in windows animations (minimalize/maximize window animation drop when using wallpaper engine with other programs running like photoshop or games) also wallpaper animation tends to slow down when using other apps. My photoshop start takes way longer than on my previous machine, games working fine unless other app is not running in the background - then games that are running normally 120fps drop to single digit frames (I had photoshop running at the same time - now when I think about it - could it be Adobe service messing the performance?)
I'm not really happy with my Windows explorer performance.
note: I use Wallpaper Engine app to reduce the chance of burnin my OLED screen, once the wallpaper is off the windows explorer performance improves (but again, should it even happen with a 16 core processor?)
The main reason for me to write here is a bizarre problem with my PC reading my Compact Flash in my camera which is connected by USB to my computer. Alright, there is a lot to unpack here, be patient with me please.
So I am a photographer and I transfer plenty of files to my workstation, usually I was doing it using a card reader, but since I have a problem with metal pins bending constantly I decided to connect my camera directly with USB cable. Weirdly - my PC has no problems reading SD cards in my camera, but CF card folder view loads extremely slow (green progress bar on the top loads for ages), loaded files are not displayed as miniatures and at some point windows gives me a msg that a device connected to computer does not work correctly.
Alright, so what I do, I connect that CF card to my reader and then to my PC and it works just fine, I put it back in the camera and again - struggle). At that point I was sure that my camera is at fault (although my Canon 5D mark IV is reading my card just fine and I can see all the pictures on the little display of my camera) - I installed firmware update, and canon drivers - but problem still persisted.
Then I connected my camera to my older laptop running windows 10 and it was working perfectly! I got completely confused. Everything loaded almost instantly. Went back to my new PC - and same problem as before. Cannot read that damn card - folder loading files takes ages and refuse to copy files.
Note: I tested multiple CF cards, so that is definitely not a mechanical fault with card
So now I am sure it's my PC. I reinstalled Windows 10 second time recently and I am out of ideas. I can easily get around it by simply using card reader but the amount of problems I have with this PC comparing to my old laptop it's just ridiculous. It should work from the start.
For clarification - I have all windows updates installed to date, all graphic card drivers (game and studio drivers included), I did hardware stress tests before with good scores, did drives writing and reading speed test, all showing no problems.
I apologize if I placed this post in a wrong place, but if you think of any solution I would be grateful for your help.
