Windows 10: 100% Disc usage when starting the PC

Hey guys,


I have a problem with my disc usage. As soon as I start my pc it shoots up to 100% and stays there for a while.


I checked the web for solutions but nothing worked.


What I already tried:


- Deinstall 3rd party Antivirus

- Deactivate Microsoft Search

- Deactivate Autostart Programms

- did a sfc/runnow

- had malwarebytes check my pc and removed potential threads



My pc was inactive for 1 year and is already a couple years old. I started the pc 2 days ago and did all Windows 10 updates but nothing fixed the 100% disc usage.


I would be glad about any ideas/solutions.


Thanks in advance.

:)

 

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?

Task Manager indicates 99-100% disc usage

Hello,

I have an Asus Aspire laptop running 64bit Windows 10

I've noticed that at start up and intermitently during usage the pc slows down and most programs become unresponsive. The Task Manager indicates that the disc usage is at 99-100%. But as per the inserted image the values for the disc usageof active processes
doesnt add up to anywhere near 100%

Can anyone suggest a cause and solution?
