The hard disk problem I described above, which I first saw when running that big Steam update, seems to be caused by the Anniversary update. I see more and more reports online when I search for a solution. Flipping the MSI interrupt bit described on the Microsoft site didn't resolve this. It is caused by the fact that I have both an SSD and a HDD, where the OS is on the SSD. The HDD then sometimes spikes to 100% disk usage, stalling the entire system; sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes for many minutes, and sometimes, completely.

This is getting very annoying. I hope MS fixes this ASAP. I've ran every test possible in Windows (full chkdsk, full memory scan), the full diagnostics suite in the laptop's BIOS (which tests everything, including HDD's and memory, and it takes 8 hours), and MemTest86+. Everything with the hardware is 100% fine. I've also updated all drivers to the latest version, where possible.

I can't do anything anymore on this end. There is no strange, illegal or wacky software on this computer. Everything is either bought, free, or open source, and all the programs have existed for many years.

Think along the lines of 7-zip, GIMP, LibreOffice, VLC, CUETools for ripping CD's, Cygwin, CCLeaner, Calibre... that sort of stuff. The only thing that is a bit niche is a trial version of Pianoteq, a piece of software that models virtual piano's. This will be uninstalled; the bought version is now running perfectly fine on an Intel NUC attached to my piano.
