    100% Disk Usage after fresh install of Windows 10


    I bought a laptop Christmas 2018 (Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming Laptop, Intel Core i5-7300HQ, 8GB RAM, 1TB Hybrid HDD, GeForce GTX 1050, 15.6" Full HD) and since having it the Disk Usage is constantly at 100% as soon as I log in. The laptop is fast to boot up and shut down but as soon as I log in the disk usage shoots up to 100% making everything very slow to load. I got a Dell representative to remote in about 6 months ago to try fix the issue but it has just kept happening. I used the download tool to create a fresh install of windows and let that run last night but, again, as soon as I log in the Disk Usage is still at 100%. Is there anything in particular I can do to reduce the Disk Usage and make my laptop usable at a decent speed?

    :)

    100% disk usage on Windows 10

    I have been having 100% disk usage off and on for several months. I have tried all steps from every suggestion I can find and nothing resolves the issue. I finally reset to a fresh install of Windows (wiping out all of my files and programs). Here I am
    with nothing on this computer, two programs open (Task Manager and Chrome), bouncing between 22-100% disk usage. Please help! I'm at my wits end! I have a Intel Core i7-7500 CPU @ 2.75 GHz, 2tb hard drive and 16 GB RAM

    100% disk usage

    The most common cause of 100% disk usage appears to be Superfetch and Prefetch, but there are also other causes. You can try disabling both these features and see if it helps.

    This article provides steps to disable prefecth and superfetch:
