Back in the time when you actually had control of your computer...

The huge Windows 10 update released at August 31 didn't resolve the disk hang problem I've been having since the anniversary update. Just now I remembered that something like "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" exists; a way to do things such as set up RAID0 or RAID1 on one disk, using multiple partitions instead of multiple drives. It uses a different driver.

By default, Windows 10 uses StorAHCI.sys, released by MS in 2006. (Device manager says so.) I've read that, for several users, the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver resolves this issue. Even though I don't use the extra's that IRST offers, the driver might indeed solve this problem. I've now installed IRST, and the driver is now StorAHCI.sys, from 4-11-2015, from Intel.

I hope this fixes the problem.

I *NEED* this system, Microsoft. It's a workstation class laptop, that should be rock solid. Rolling updates without (obvious) means to prevent or reverse installation is *NOT* a good idea.
