Windows 10: 100 % Disc Time after update

After windows feature update 2004, my HDD disc time remains 100% during starting my pc and also during opening a new software. In the task manager System and Avast service are two software that usually takes most of the disc. But during starting a new software, the software itself takes the most of the disc time. I have 8GB RAM ,my virtual memory is set accordingly : min = recommended, max = ram size *1.5 . There was problem during updating, my laptop screen became black that time while keyboard light , disc light and active light was on.Eventually that resolved and my laptop updated successfully.But after that update my disc time remains 100 %. One of my friend told me to check task schedule but I thought I should take advice from expert first.

Disc Usage at 100%

Hi Andre,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I started going through your list of suggestions.

I have switched off all background apps. I was horrified to see so many.

I then disabled windows update.

At that stage I thought I would check out disc usage on task manager.

Disc activity had gone down dramatically and in the performance tag activity was very low, it spiked from time to time if I did something on the PC but the speed on all activity was back to normal.

I thought I would leave things as they were and see if things stayed the same.

No problems at all until this afternoon I was trying to look at a file via windows explorer and got the message "not responding". A quick look at task manager and disc activity is 100% again. Everything slows down. I close down some screens and the desk
top turns black.

The only way I can get a display up again is "alt" + "tab". The task bar has disappeared. I decided to reboot but the only way I can do that is with the on'/off switch.

The PC reboots. I check that all the apps are still switched off and windows update is still disabled, Disc activity is still 100%.

As I type this disc activity has suddenly dropped. it keeps spiking to 100% but then reverts back to about 12%.

Is this normal or is there something else I should do.

Back to 100% now. How do I find out what is actually happening, what activity is the disc doing?

I am confused.

Any suggestions?
