Random pause during game play on MAMEUI

Been using MAMEUI for years. Never had a problem, and it is always my goto build. Love it. Using version .257.
For some reason during any game play it will totally freeze for like 3-4 seconds. No audiom no control, nothing. Colors stay the same, they do not get darker like the pause key is hit, and then without warning, it is back to normal again. Any ideas?

Will try a clean install and see if that fixes it.

It's almost certainly just the usual 'drive spin down' problem combined with the high score plugin causing it to spin up again when it needs to write data, which it will do the very moment your score exceeds the current high score.
In a sensible world, MAME would save the scores on exit, not as soon as you get the new score, but it doesn't.
The problem has caused streamers I've watched to ragequit because it runs their attempts at perfect runs etc. (no pausing allowed if they want to claim it to be a genuine score etc.) They've ended up making the choice to use 20+ year old versions of MAME instead where the behaviour was different.
