Server 2019 Occasional Slow Down. Instantly fixed when I open Server Manager Dashboard

I have a lenova Thinkserver TS-440 with Server 2019 installed. 4 core Intel Xeon with 16 Gb memory. It has 6 hard drives managed by StablerBit DrivePool. Also installed is StableBit Scanner and it reports no issues with the hard drives. Occasionally, at least once a week, it slows down really slow. If I logon to the server and open Server Manager Dashboard, the issue is instantly fixed. I have checked the memory and no issues there. I have a duplicate server running Server 2016 and there are no issues with it.

Not extremely server literate. What other information do you need to help?

    Hello

    It’s interesting that opening the Server Manager Dashboard seems to resolve the slowdown issue. This could be due to a variety of factors, and it might require some troubleshooting to pinpoint the exact cause.

    Here are a few things you could try:

    1. Check for Resource-Intensive Processes: Use Task Manager or Resource Monitor to check for any processes that are consuming a lot of CPU, memory, or disk resources.
    2. Update Drivers: Make sure all your drivers are up-to-date. This includes your network adapter, graphics card, and any other hardware components.
    3. Check Network Speeds: If your server is running slow, it could be due to network issues. Use a tool like Speedtest.net to check your network speeds.
    4. Scan for Malware: Run a full system scan with a reliable antivirus program.
    5. Disable Server Manager Auto-Start: If Server Manager is set to start automatically when you log in, it could be consuming resources in the background. You can disable this feature by going to Manage > Server Manager Properties in the Server Manager console and checking the “Do not start Server Manager automatically at logon” box.
    6. Check Event Logs: Windows Event Viewer can provide clues about what might be causing the slowdown. Look for any warnings or errors that occur around the time the slowdown happens.
