Windows 10: 100% Disk Usage on Normal Use (Please Help :D)

New User just joined but imagine im going to fit in around here, anyways to my problem.

i bought this computer off craigslist for around $200 for the tower and another PSU. after thoroughly cleaning the inside (no touching thermal paste or dissembling anything) i booted up and got everything i wanted on it. this was around 2 months ago and just this week i have been having the problem of the computer freezing for a good 30 seconds at a time. i have researched this issue to be disk related and have tried to update drivers for disk controllers and such but to no avail has it been fruitful. *cry*cry*cry

so, can anyways help me with this issue? *Cool

Task Manager has Disk at 100% when only 0 - 3 mg are shown as used

Hello Kent,

We appreciate all the screenshots you have sent us. Upon researching, the
Disk Usage shows 100% whenever there is an application or program opened. It actually shows the your Disk's
active time and does not necessarily mean your disk usage is being compromised. We don't really see any issues with the Disk Usage showing 100% as it is normal for any other users when using any applications or programs.

Regards.

 

Disk usage 100%

Disk usage 100% after i start any app. Goes back to normal after some time. Dont know if this is related to this issue aswell but as i am playing (overwatch) disk usage is randomly 100% and i get lagspikes. Have tried disabling superfetch, prefetch, windows
search and things like that so far has not helped at all.

 

It is a common issue on 10. There is unfortunately not "one fix to all" solution.

You can also try to download WC.bat and run it as admin, it will perform some system maintenance.

Additionally, you can try a scan, which scans the integrity of all system files and repairs files with problems.

the guide didnt do much good but running wc.bat has seemed to work wonders! thanks!

 

Well I spoke too soon. The fix only worked for a few minutes.

 

It's difficult to say.
in my experience, you could try:
1. Get http://crystalmark.info/software/Cry...o/index-e.html to check disk drive healthy state.
2. Open Resource Monitor check which process is perform the high disk usage.

 

It's just an issue with Windows 10, I was initially freaked out when this happened with my PC, then I found out it was just a problem with Windows 10. You should be fine.
