Was anyone with this issue able to try this:

and verify if the computer still operates slowly?


VSS isn’t even started on my computer. And I have this problem. I use chrome NOT IE or Firefox, and don’t even have backups setup, I use it to store extra files. 

 

My computer has come to a screeching halt.

 

Interesting note: I killed all the WD processes, then restarted, and then no problem. But everytime I reboot, it starts dragging down my computer. 49% CPU usage, and not even accessing the drive. CRAZY! And this looks like it has been a problem since 9/2011. That’s a long time for a problem like this.

UPDATE: I killed the processes, and restarted, they stopped hogginh for about 5 mimutes, then kicked into high gear again. So, stopping, then restarting did not fix. Yeesh. This is depressing that this is not fixed.
