Window 10 was working very well until recently after upgrading to Windows Edge chrome (or at least the is the only event that I can associated to this issue) I am getting persistent OS stalls or "not responding" that affect all applications when running Edge. Common to see "waiting for cache" in lower left browser window when the the entire system stalls and stops responding. Common to see the cursor hour glass for 30 or more seconds before system and affected applications start to respond normally.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Install and upgrade

    Same here, FireFox works fine, when Chrome and Microsoft Edge randomly, frequently, are waiting for something.

    Try enabling the AHCI Mode for the SSD, That may fix the issue.
