Hello, I had a similar problem and I think I found something that solves this, at least partly.
As it turns out, Windows has something called DCOM enabled by default. It stands for “Distributed COM” which enables other computers on the network access COM objects on your Windows. I encountered other threads, not audio-related, but hard-disk related, suggesting to disable DCOM entirely to make the hard-disk stop read/write peaks. This feature is not really necessary in a DAW either way.
So I followed this and disabled DCOM:
And I ran a session which would previously dropout and it was MUCH better. I still had some issues with the disk, but I think they are related to other things that are not optimized well on my system.
Would be happy to hear if this works for you!
