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.

 

100% Disk usage | Memory | CPU

My computer is very laggy. For small actions like clicking on the start button, searching, opening folders, using internet browsers I have to wait multiple seconds to be able to complete them.

Also, in task manager I have this values:

100% disk usage, 70-80% memory usage , 35-40% CPU

I did the math, my disk usage doesn't go above 4mb/s, but it shows 100%.

The memory is about ~2000mb used, but it shows 80%+.

Same for CPU, it's ~20% and it shows 35-40%+.

I tried most of the solutions for the '100% disk usage' error. I don't know what to do anymore. I want to be able to use my computer at the full potential.

PS: I can play high requirements games, but not at the highest quality.
