    Hi guys.

    So i've been plagued with Windows 10 doing a 100% disk usage on my storage drives.

    I have windows installed to drive C: - a m.2 raid 0 array. and i have two harddrives (D: and EPLAGUED with disk 100% usage - ALL the time. :) which for some reason months, weeks or days after a fresh reformat, windows at some point decides to thrash the shit out of them and keep their disk usage at 100%, which causes HUGE performance issues and makes the entire system go to a crawl.

    It's pretty shocking how persistent this issue is, and how many people I know also suffer with a similar issue. Is there any solution to this or is Microsoft just sitting on their asses not addressing what is clearly a crippling problem with their OS?

    The fact that there's SO many potential "fixes" out there implies how out of control this issue is. Can anyone suggest anything further to fix this ridiculous broken OS?

    The most common cause of 100% disk usage appears to be Superfetch and Prefetch, but there are also other causes. You can try disabling both these features and see if it helps.

    This article provides steps to disable prefecth and superfetch:

    100% disk usage and memory usage

    Hi,

    100% disk usage and memory usage can be caused by a software corruption, running application running on the background and malware or virus infection.

    For us to properly isolate the issue and provide an appropriate resolution, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Did the issue happen after installing the Fall Creators?
    • Did you receive any error messages?
    • Can you send us the screenshot of the Task Manager showing the 100% disk usage and memory usage?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    For isolation purposes, please perform a clean boot to see if the same issue will occur. Refer to this
    article for more information on how to perform a clean boot
    in Windows.

    Looking forward to your response.
