UPDATE: Issue seems to have been resolved after a Windows System Restore. UPDATE 2: I have discovered the root cause of this bug/issue. When I enabled ransomeware protection in Windows Security, the issue occurred and HWinfo would hang. I have now allowed HWinfo64.exe through controlled folder...

Yea I will, but I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with the other port and if I can fix it. I would prefer it to work as normal.

I tried uninstalling each device under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, Disk Drives and Storage Controllers, then restarting after each installation. The issue is still there on the other port? Any idea on what else I can to do fix that port?

Wow so I tried a different SATA port and this time it worked. No hanging, HWinfo launched as normal. But does this mean my other port is messed up?

Interesting. I initially suspected that something went wrong with the drive when my PC crashed during the Windows security scan. I will try to check BIOS settings and then try a different port. If that doesn't work, maybe I will reformat the drive. Will get back to you with results.

When HWinfo became stuck it wasn't shutting down through 'end task' in task manager, but I spammed it and then it worked. Hopefully this debug file is correct.

I have attached the debug file. Is that the right file?

Well damn. Looks like I'm going to turn off SMART for now until this is fixed by Windows or HWinfo. Unfortunate.

I tried this and it still gets stuck for a bit. I also tried reinstalling HWinfo which didn't change anything. Do i need to reinstall a driver or something? Not sure why this has happened all of a sudden when it was working fine before.

I looked around in device manager and couldn't seem to find anything with ASMedia. Mine shows Standard SATA AHCI Controller x2 under IDE ATA/ATAPI. Then under Storage Controllers it has Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller and Standard NVM Express Controller.

Hi, I have been experiencing this issue ever since my PC crashed during a Windows Security scan. My OS is on a SSD, and Windows was scanning my HDD. When launching HWinfo, the app will hang at 'detecting ata/scsi' drive and will eventually launch a few minutes later. After some reading...
