Windows 10: 100% disk space, computer runs slow no idea why.

if i open 2 programs or when ever i start my computer my disk space jumps up to 100% and it takes a full 5 minutes to calm down. i have a 2 terabyte hard drive. that runs the main files. i just don't understand why this is happening. i have tried so many things and no luck. yes its a gaming pc and it runs games like a beast. but as soon as i open a program. my computers like i am going to take a time out.

Computer slow performance inWindows 10 and 100% disk usage.

Hi,

We do agree that slow computer performance will be annoying. Have you referred to the articles about “Windows performance recorder” and “How to fix 100% disk usage in Windows 10” mentioned in our previous post. Which may help you to resolve your issue.

Possibly an applications installed on your computer might be causing the problem, Suggest you to uninstall the apps which are not used frequently on your computer.

Make sure you have enough Random access memory on your computer to run multiple apps on your computer, if there is no space consider increasing your memory space.

Hope this helps.

 

100% disk utilisation slowing laptop

Hi Mara May,

Thank you for your assistance, I have had to type this in WORD and copy paste into the thread here due to all things through Chrome and Edge are so slow.

• Windows is always up to date with all updates.
  
• Norton Utilities is also up to date
  

• I have already done the following:
  
  • Tested HDD with HP Startup Menu and disk is 100% in order
    
  • Carried out SFC scan and corrupt files repaired
    
  • Did a DSIM restore health and no issues found-Disk utilisation is now generally below 50%
    
  • When using Chrome browser, to access this chat for example, its very slow with Disk utilisation at 10% or so but Memory at 55% with Chrome using most of it always.
    
  • So the problem is partially resolved except for when using Chrome
    
  • With Edge the memory goes up to 62% and HDD 100%
    
  • Did you suggested :Methods” 1, 2, 3, 5, 6
    
• I have not done a “clean boot” as it scares me at this stage.
  

It seems to be an issue between Chrome/Edge browsers as when I use Office 365’s Outlook, Word etc, the speed is now OK. Also the Disk utilisation seems to be generally acceptable but memory high that may be slowing the laptop down?

I have had issues with Teams simultaneously in that it’s so slow but with Zoom its normal, coincidence?

I look forward to your further suggestions.

Regards
