    100% Disk usage due to shut down the laptop in the middle of installing a program


    Hello Everyone
    Thank you for reading this

    First, I apologize for my bad English. I have shut down the laptop a few days ago by pressing the power bottom in the middle of installing a program because my laptop hanged at the time. since then my laptop speed is cut down to half and my disk usage is 100% most of the time but not all the time. to resolve the issue I reinstalled the windows and defragment all drives and check all drives and scanning them but nothing positive happened. also I did a full scan with windows defender and no virus found on my computer. but still, I have the same issue with disk usage and the speed of the laptop to doing simple tasks. sometimes it feels like the issue is solved and the computer is normal but with a restart maybe everything again changes and the issue coming back again. I don't know what to do. I really appreciate it if anyone knows what should I do.

    Thank you

    :)

    Windows 10 100% disk usage

    Hello

    I have a laptop running Windows 10 Pro. A few weeks ago due to an accident, my laptop hard a hard crash and afterwards, Windows 10 started to get very slow, frequent crashes, freezing, programs not opening etc. Though I was able to fix Windows 10 by running
    chkdsk, DISM and sfc /scannow multiple times, the problem is that my laptop is still very slow and freezes frequently as before and in Task Manager, the disk usage is always at 100%, even if I am not running any programs. I have tried all listed ways on internet
    such as - disabling windows search, disabling superfetch, malware scan etc and the problem persists. This problem also happens in clean and safe boot. Upon running chkdsk, it shows 876 kb in bad sectors. I suspect that my HDD has probably gone bad due to the
    impact. Please suggest some solutions to resolve 100% disk usage problem.

    Specs -

    HP laptop

    i5- 8250u

    8 GB RAM

    Windows 10 Pro

  3. 100% disk usage.

    Summer has ended and my girlfriend booted her school laptop for the first time in months, only for it to be so unbearably slow that it took several minutes to log in. She handed it to me and said "fix it"... that was 3 days ago and now I am here to humbly
    ask the community what is going on with this GD laptop.

    It boots and task manager reports 100%CPU usage, it then lags for several seconds and displays 100%disk usage with CPU usage bouncing between 30-60%.

    If you leave it alone with task manager running it will eventually quiet down to a reasonable 0-5% disk usage, but doing ANYTHING causes it to bounce right back to 100%.

    I have tried EVERYTHING.

    • disable superfetch.
    • disable microsoft search.
    • disable updates and suggestive tips.
    • updated to the most current version of microsoft. (it hadn't been updated since 2018 when she bought it.)
    • reconfigured AHCI PCIE.
    • changed energy options.
    • disabled indexing.
    • reset the virtual memory.
    • ran disk defragment and disabled all scheduling.
    • updated all drivers.
    • deleted google chrome.
    • Disabled all services that weren't microsoft services and disabled all startup programs (clean boot).
    Still no change in the disk usage.

    Its an HP Laptop model 15-bw0xx with Windows 10 home edition version 10.0.18362

    after messing with it this long im considering replacing the HDD with an SSD but I fear that it wont fix the issue.
