  1. 100% disk usage on ssd


    Hello, I have been having trouble just this day with 100% disk usage on windows 10 my specs are:Windows 10 Pro 64 bit12GB 4 & 8 installed ram 1600mhzAMD A7960 GB Kingston SDDI cloned my hdd to this new ssd and all went well for a day. This morning when I boot it, it suddenly hangs. After restarting it, it says no bootable drive then I just replug the sata and it boots again but after that, everything I open except file explorer, disk runs at 100 percent and I can't find and solutions. My problem is why does the ssd run perfectly for 1 1/2 day then this morning it

  2. Disk usage at 100%

    If you're facing it with HDD, I suggest you to switch to SSD and see if it helps.

  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.

    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:
