PREEMPTIVE_OS_COMOPS Wait
Wait: PREEMPTIVE_OS_COMOPS
Preemptive waits means that something is interrupting SQL Server and the database is waiting for this to complete. Non-Preemptive means that there is cooperation with SQL Server.
In this case the PREEMPTIVE_OS_COMOPS wait means that SQL Server has been preempted (not cooperating) by the operating system and is currently waiting for the OS to complete its task. This is likely not caused by a specific query, rather the query is showing the symptoms of the problem.
The PREEMPTIVE_OS_COMOPS wait type was introduced in SQL Server 2008.
