100% disk usage and memory usage

Hi,

100% disk usage and memory usage can be caused by a software corruption, running application running on the background and malware or virus infection.

For us to properly isolate the issue and provide an appropriate resolution, kindly answer the questions below:

• Did the issue happen after installing the Fall Creators?
• Did you receive any error messages?
• Can you send us the screenshot of the Task Manager showing the 100% disk usage and memory usage?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

For isolation purposes, please perform a clean boot to see if the same issue will occur. Refer to this

in Windows.

Looking forward to your response.

100% Disk Space, Windows 10, Poor performance, poor customer support

I have literally spent hours trying to get my computer to work right. I have tried cleaning, disabling, defragging, uninstalling, and nothing seems to work. Windows 10 has made my life miserable. There is nothing running but it still seems to peg out at
100% disk space. I'm unable to talk to a human being on the phone to help with the software I purchased from them. Has anyone found a solution? Guessing Apple is the solution if MS is not going to help support their products.

I have tried all of these and more.

Here are 10 methods you can use to attempt to resolve the problem of high disk usage on your Windows 10 system. Some may take longer than usual due to the stress and increased usage
that your hard drive is already under.

1. Restart Your System
2. Update Windows
3. Check For Malware
4. Disable Windows Search
5. Stop the Superfetch Service
6. Change Energy Options from Balanced to High Performance
7. Temporarily Turn Off Your Antivirus Software
8. Reset Virtual Memory in Windows 10
9. Run Check Disk
10. Change Settings in Google Chrome and Skype
