In case this helps someone else…
I finally got around to installing Lasso on my Primary and Backup rigs. Even though I’d fully optimized using Brad’s and other guides when I got new gear about a year os so ago, there were still a couple things that had reverted. I used Claude AI for all the Lasso settings and it definitely runs smoother, faster state changes, no crashes even when doing extensive editing (which i would get on heavy songs). I also made some tweaks to:
- PCI Express → Link State Power Management → Off (don’t know why that was on)
- I found a couple network adaptors that still had “allow computer to turn off power” checked… again odd, thought I’d had that set.
- Uncheck PCIe ASPM Support in BIOS.
I’m not a computer expert like many here are, but my guess is that some of the Windows updates changed some settings. And my “non-lasso” tweaks may not be making a difference, I don’t know… but all I know is it’s running better than it has in a while, and I have some fairly heavy cpu songs. Thanks to all who pointed out Lasso!
