And i hope that you (Intel) maybe take another look at this annoying very old HDD destroying problem. I hope that this information can help anyone who has the same issue. The new Reg entry in iaStoreAC/Parameters/Devices/"EnableAPM"=dword:00000000 <- Working again for WIn10 1803 The old REG entry was in iaStoreA/Parameters/Devices/ "EnableAPM"=dword:00000000 <- Since WIndfresh installation not working anymore.
I found out why the REG file isnt working anyore.It seems your New drivers have different/changed/new REG entries/folders. This means your driver is slowly destroying my HDDs !!! And the workaround for the 5 year old unsolved problem is not working anymore.Īgain a Working workaround for fresh WIndinstallation and clicking HDDs.Īfter some researching i found a working workaround solution. from your site and my previously worked REG file i cant get rid of the annoying HDD click sound and spinning combination. And also after installing the newest RST drivers 16. NOW after a clean installation with the standard drivers on board from you shipped with the 1803 Win version.
So after upgrading Windows 10 to the new 1803 Spring version via the normal Windows Update process i had no issues with the clicking HDDs after the update.īUT I also loaded the new WIndows 10 - 1803 ISO DVD and started a fresh installation. After clicking a song the HDDs are starting again and it clicks exactly like when turning on the PC - This repeats again and again in a loop.Īs i said i used the REG file and Installed the newest RST drivers everytime after reinstall WIndows and it worked fine. Intel 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller 1C22 Driver 1.0.0.2 for Windows 8. Its like the HDDs are shutting down and the heads are parking what makes the click noise.

Since not solved ^ See creation date of old thread ^ Second ! The old workaround posted from you to solve the problem who also worked for me everytime was a registry file who disabled the APM mode. I think you know the older thread -> HDD click (excessive load-unload cycles) who many have problems with their HDDs because they are clicking every 2 minutes in AHCI or RAID mode.
