No, I disabled “Enable realtime scanning of files on network” as I aware of the performance issue.
I read from the other thread on USN journaling issue causing the cmdagent.exe high cpu usage issue, thus I set the IMDisk to create an EXFAT RAMDrive instead of NTFS for time being.
So far, EXFAT RAMDrive is doing well. Let see if this will fix the issue.
Just FYI, I reinstalled Windows and set up almost same configurations: issue appears again.
I use Everything (always monitors file changes) and BigMIND (backup software, also monitors file changes) that might involved in.
For now I run following command at boot and when cmdagent.exe starts eating CPU, which immediately drops CPU usage:
You’re right, stop using NTFS for RAMDrive is one of the available options.
For my case I have to use NTFS compression for S: so completely avoiding NTFS is not possible, but I indeed changed R: filesystem to FAT32 (because RAMDrive software does not support exFAT as default filesystem) and high CPU usage problem loosen a bit now.
Oh…if you require NFTS compression, then there isn’t any choice.
As for EXFAT, ImDisk Toolkit RAMDrive supports EXFAT. It is open source too. ImDisk Toolkit download | SourceForge.net
Better use EXFAT since FAT32 has 4GB single file size limitation. ;D
This does seem to be an ImDisk issue as I’ve tried to replicate this with a different RAM Disk provider and various formats, with no problems showing and I’ve been using a RAM Disk for years for Temp Files and Folders
I’m using Comodo Firewall much longer than ImDisk.
This issue hasn’t been there since the beginning, it may have come with an update.
While Comodo provided some updates last year, ImDisk hasn’t been updated for years.
Let’s see if I can provide some information with the performance log.
By the way:
I have the same issue on two different computers.
