Noticed this a while back
Seems to be getting mentioned now and and are aware
But I didn't see any mention of void tools everything
Or actually possible it's other search/indexing software too

If you have amd GPU and notice void tools not responding
Possibly the atieclxx.exe problem
Causes continuous writes to drive
Mine was constant 100MBs write to ssd which over time
Really wouldn't be good for drive health

My solution was disable AMD external events utility in services
Press windows+r then enter services.msc
It's near the top since alphabetical
Stop it and change it to disabled
Can't say have noticed any side effects from disabling it
But it's stopped the incessant writing to my ssds
And void tools everything is back to it's instant search speed again
Which is great as it's one of my must have free softwares
