Windows 10: 100% Disk usage after boot up and booting is slow

Hello, I have a 1TB HDD and the problem is the boot-up process is very slow.


What I tried:

1. Clean boot

2. Remove unnecessary startup things

3. I ran chkdsk

4. Cleaned big chunks of temp files using CCleaner

5. Defrag the drives.


It improves a little bit but just a bit. After booting up it took another 30sec-1min to show the lock screen, after that, I can't open an app because everything is still loading up and I tried to check what's happening via task manager and I can see that the disk is at 100% so I need to wait another 2-5 mins. Also opening an app is really painful because it will take a minute or two again before it opens. Is this normal for an HDD? I have lots of space within the HDD and I have 8GB of ram.


for my D DRIVE:




for my C DRIVE:




Is my drive slow or this just really the normal read and write of an HDD?

100% disk usage on boot up for at least 5 to 10 minutes

Hi there, I did a clean boot as you suggested and the boot up time became considerably longer and although disk usage was 100%, this was only for a minute or so. The program at the top of the disk utilisation list this time though was service host:superfetch.

However I then didn't disable anything in the services tab but disabled all the programs in the startup tab and restarted. This resulted in a very speedy boot up AND there was no 100% disk utilisation. I've done this several times enabling a couple of programs
on startup and the disk utilisation is no longer 100%.

It appears therefore as though it was some kind of conflict in the startup programs that was causing the 100% disk utilisation.

Thanks very much for your assistance.

 

Slow Boot, Disk 100%

I installed Windows 10 pro yesterday on my brand new laptop (Acer E5 576G). After using it for several hours I realized that sometime Disk on task bar goes uptup 100% and laptop becomes a little bit sluggish (Highest disk usage service was superfetch -
don't know whether it's every time). And the boot up is very slow it's taking almost 1 or 2 minute/s to boot up. Please help me fix this I already did the StorAHCI.sys fix that mentioned in here ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...00-disk-utilization-on-windows-10-devices-wit
). Thank you in advance.

 

100% disk usage and slow boot

Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron laptop for about three and a half years and in recent months its boot is slow and in the first minutes, it uses 100% of the disk.
It has some heavy programs like Visual Studio, Android Studio and more on it, but it's not always been like that.

I use windows 10 home. The computer has Intel I5 CPU and 8GB RAM.

Are there suggestions for improving the computer's performance?
