    100% disk usage when I type help needed


    Hello. Basically I bought a used but in mint condition prebuilt desktop off Amazon and it came in today. Fresh out of the box and nothing is installed. I set it up and my problem is: Whenever I would type with my keyboard I noticed in Task Manager that the disk percentage would boost up to 100%. After I’d say 2-3 minutes my keyboard would just stop functioning with the PC and the disk space would be in the 2-8% range after it stops working. I couldn’t actually type any words out but stuff like my shift, tab, alt etc would still function as normal. It’s just the letter keys.If I were to restart

    :)

    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:

    100% disk usage and memory usage

    Hi,

    100% disk usage and memory usage can be caused by a software corruption, running application running on the background and malware or virus infection.

    For us to properly isolate the issue and provide an appropriate resolution, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Did the issue happen after installing the Fall Creators?
    • Did you receive any error messages?
    • Can you send us the screenshot of the Task Manager showing the 100% disk usage and memory usage?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    For isolation purposes, please perform a clean boot to see if the same issue will occur. Refer to this
    article for more information on how to perform a clean boot
    in Windows.

    Looking forward to your response.

    100% disk usage when I type help needed

    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.
