    100% Disk Usage on Startup

    The methods in the link have helped, the computer is able to get to the login screen faster (instead of being stuck in a rotating circles screen for 20 seconds), but the 100% disk usage problem still persists.

    For comparison, I have a laptop (Windows on SSD as well) that takes nearly instantaneous to log me in after putting in the password. On the desktop, it takes around 10-20 seconds longer before it reaches the desktop screen, and the disk usage makes accessing
    anything impossible for a further 10-20 seconds. I fear that this constant disk usage will reduce my SSD's lifespan faster, so any more help in fixing it is appreciated.
