  1. 100% Disk usage due to "System" process


    Hello!


    I'm finally posting here after endless posts on here where Microsoft support was unable to do anything due to a lack of information.


    I'm having an issue with my Disk usage upon startup... It's to the point where i hardly ever use my computer anymore because it takes so long to boot up and run smoothly.

    The System process takes up the majority of the disk space for a half hour, maybe more, upon start up. A few other programs fight for first (like wsappx and various service hosts) but system is the one that causes the most issues.

    I've tried a slew of things and nothing ever works as I've perused the Microsoft forums for months now, anything that doesnt require deletion of files and memory.

    My computer is currently trying to install the latest updates as of 12/9/2019 9:45 AM which is titled "Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based Systems (KB4524570)".


    Edition: Windows 10 Home

    Version: 1903

    Installed on: 9/30/2019

    OS Build: 18362.418

    :)

  3. How to solve 100 % disk usage in windows 10 after fall update?

    Hi Manikanteswara,

    Usually, a virus could be the main cause of 100% disk usage. The first step in rectifying the problem is to check your disk usages. You need to open the Task Manager and take a look at your disk usages to identify the programs or applications that are causing
    your hard disk 100% usage. Here's how:

    • Type task manager in the Windows search bar and select the best match.
    • In the Processes tab, look at the disk process to see what is causing your hard disk 100% usage.

    Kindly send a screenshot, so I can take a closer look.

    Hoping to hear from you soon.
