Windows 10: 100 disk usage on startup HDD

Hello!I'm getting 100% disk usage every time on startup. It usually went down after a couple of minutes. Services like sys main take up to 99% or 100%. It kinda slows down my laptop. I'm on HDD and is there a way to solve this without upgrading to SSD? I already turned off startup apps and background apps. Thanks,Spec: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15iml05 Windows 10 Pro 21h2 IntelR CoreTM i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz 2.11 GHz 8 GB ram 1 TB HDD

100 Disk Usage after Startup

Hi,

To resolve your 100% disk usage issue, please follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key+i to open Settings, then select Privacy.
• Under Privacy, select Feedback & diagnostics.
  
• Under Diagnostic and usage data, change Send your device data to Microsoft to
  Enhanced or Basic.
• Close the Settings.

Let us know how it goes.

 

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.

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:
