Preparing for Optimal Performance

  • Hard Drive Space - Ensure that there is adequate disk space available on your hard drive to properly save the analysis results. At least 50 GB of free space is recommended for smooth operation.

  • Laptop Power Supply - When running the software on a laptop, ensure that it is connected to a power source. Do not rely solely on battery power, as it may not provide sufficient energy to meet the demands of both the camera and the GPU.

  • Windows Update and Related Services - Go to Settings > Windows Update and make sure there are no pending restarts or updates stuck in a loop.

  • Windows Search Indexing - The Windows Search Indexer runs in the background to speed up file searches. On slower or older hard drives, it can spike disk usage.

    • Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.

    • Scroll down to Windows Search, right-click, and choose Properties.

    • Under Startup type, set to Manual or Disabled, then click Stop to halt the service immediately.

  • Superfetch / SysMain Service - SysMain (formerly known as Superfetch) preloads frequently used apps into memory. It can sometimes cause constant disk activity.

    • Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.

    • Find SysMain, right-click, select Properties.

    • Change Startup type to Disabled, and click Stop.

  • Antivirus or Antimalware Scans - Antivirus engines (like Windows Defender’s Antimalware Service Executable) can cause heavy disk usage during scans.

    • Let the scan finish, or schedule scans for times when you’re not using the computer.

  • Monitor Task Manager: Use Task Manager to monitor disk activity. Check the Disk column to identify which processes are consuming resources when usage reaches 100%.
