Rekordbox Unstable - Why so unstable after so long?

Ok, been using Rekordbox DJ and DDJ-RZ for months now and still getting glitches using Rekordbox. In the middle fo a mix there's digital distortion for a few seconds, like the whole system is grinding to a halt, then playback resumes. It's like there's a background process slowing the system down, but when I monitor this in task manager there's nothing else eating resources, it's maddening. I can't use this system anywhere other than at home, it's so unstable at times and would be an embarrassment in a live setting. 

My laptop is running off mains power, has SSD, all drivers totally up to date, absolutely nothing else installed on the laptop, deleted EVERyTHING which can be deleted from Windows 10, power settings set to max performance, waveforms set to medium, there's nothing else I can find online to adjust any more....why is this software so unstable? 

Glad I bought this using a credit card, in the UK it means your covered if goods aren't fit for purpose....and Rekordbox/DDJ-RZ combo is lovely, but definitely not a pro DJ tool. 

Any other advice as on last push before I bin this and return it for a full refund and switch to another brand? £over £1600, waste of money iglitcheschess like this.

I'm on a DDJ-RZ too and find I don't experience these issues - even playing 3 or 4 simultaneous FLACs over my home network.

The only time I've ever had the distortion that you describe was when I had a low battery warning (less than 5%) and the display stuttered, the sound was massively distorted... and that continued on/off for a few minutes until I disconnected the laptop and plugged it in to the mains... Presume the system was dumping everything to disk and was getting ready to hibernate.

Wish I could say the same..mine is connected to the mains and this happens. All settings are set to maximum performance, nothing goes to sleep or hibernates. The only process of note in task manager is Rekordbox, but even that isn't going to 100% on the CPU. If I run the RZ as a standalone with my 2 synths it can run all day, it's definitely Rekordbox, not the hardware. It's random, so it can run fine for an hour then start playing up, other times it's after 5 minutes. I think it's since the last Rekordbox update, because at first it was fine, I've got recordings of 3 hours that are glitch free, but the past few weeks have seen this issue crop up. I really couldn;t trust Rekordbox ina professional capactity, which sucks considering the cost fo the setup...
