Re: Windows 10 passthrough lag/micro-freeze issues during disk I/O

I really did try many things that I didn't enumerate here our of
desperation. Also I had Windows 7 before with the same behavior.

No, I will give it a try, however, I don't see the NVMe being maxed out
in its queue.  Even I/O from inside the guest will amplify the effect of
any I/O on host.

Yes, I tried using IO threads instead, and by default, all the threads
are already pinned to the emulator core, my IRQs are also pinned to this
core. The core #7 is never loaded much more than 30%. And just making
sure everyone is aware that the Core i7 9700K really is 8 cores, no
thread, so it is really dedicated.
