Disk is always at 100%

Hi Richard,

Some bugs or disk drive errors may cause high disk utilization. If your task manager shows 100% disk utilization, you may need to optimize Windows by following these troubleshooting methods:

Disable Windows Search

Some bug in Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 causes some "search loop" that causes maximum utilization of your disk. To disable
Windows Search, kindly follow these steps:

• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type services.msc and press Enter.
• Scroll down to find Windows Search, right-click it, and select
  Properties.
• Change the Startup type to Disabled and save the changes.

Disable Superfetch Service

Superfetch service has been identified as a possible cause of 100% disk utilization on Windows 10. To disable Superfetch service, kindly follow these steps:

• Press Windows + X and select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type net.exe stop superfetch and press Enter.
• Wait for a minute for the changes to apply and close the Command Prompt.

Let us know how things goes.

Regards.

 

Computer hangs on startup. 100% disk usage

Hi Bimali,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community.

It's unfortunate that you are facing this issue. Let me assist you with the issue.

Share this information to assist you better.

• Did you receive any error message when the system hangs?
• 
  Did you install any third party security application?
  

This issue may arise due to:

• Virus or Malware attack.
• Driver or application conflicts.
• Faulty hardware.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to download and install any pending updates that needs to be installed on the computer through Windows update and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

If the issue persists, run System Maintenance troubleshooter which finds and clean up unused files and shortcuts and performs maintenance tasks.

Press Windows key and type Troubleshooting.

Select Troubleshooting and hit Enter.

Click on View all in the left pane of the window.

Select System Maintenance.
