If you are running a system that is powered by an AMD processor, you must have heard of a caching solution known as StoreMI.

In case you are unaware, the latest AMD motherboards offer support for a powerful tool that improves boot times, load times, and overall system responsiveness.

As opposed to paid caching solutions PrimoCache and eBoostr, StoreMI is free to use for those on the AM4 platform.

Similar to existing solutions, StoreMI lets users pair their HDD with their SSD so they can enjoy SSD-like performance even on mechanical disks.

While it sounds good on paper, StoreMI users historically have had issues since the software replaces some disk drivers with StoreMI drivers.

Having said that, it looks like the latest version of AMD StoreMI has an issue that is causing systems to slow down instead of boosting their performance.

Users say that they have noticed that the system taking significantly longer to boot after installing or updating to the latest version of StoreMI.

Some other problems include intermittent stuttering, freezing, and the system using 100% CPU. Many say that StoreMI is causing the mouse and window movement to lag to a point where it is unusable.

With some reports dating back over a month, AMD had acknowledged the issue on August 19 and said that they were working on it.

Now an AMD Staff member told users that the StoreMI system slow down issue has been taken on a higher priority and that they will be fixing it in the upcoming version of the application.

However, the company did not share an ETA for the fix. We will update this article when AMD gives us more information so make sure you keep an eye out.
