Windows 10: 100% disk usage when watching 4k videos.

It started a couple days back. Whenever I try to watch any 4k video on my system the video lags, system goes slow and disk usage is at 100%.

I have Radeon HD 6670 and 8gb of ram. Should I reinstall windows just for this?

Thanks.

:)

 

cpu usage 100% when watching video

Hello,

An outdated or faulty driver can be one of the factors why this issue occurs. To assist you with your concern, we suggest that you follow these methods:

Method 1: Try disabling the Startup Programs

• Go to Start > Control Panel > Power options and then select
  Choose what the power button does.
  
• Choose Change settings that are currently unavailable.
• Unmark the checkbox > Turn on fast startup > click the
  Save changes button.

Method 2: Try to vacate more available CPU space

• Press Win + R and then type in msconfig to open the
  Task Manager window.
• Click on the Startup tab and you will see a list of programs that run at startup.
• Right click on the applications that needn’t to be run at startup and select
  Disable.

Method 4: Update Drivers for Windows 10 Creators Update

As mentioned above, the drivers can be outdated or faulty after Windows 10 Creators Update which leads to the computer issues like installation stuck and high CPU usage. To update all your drivers in a safe way, you might as well try a professional one stop
driver updater utility, like Driver Talent, it's an automatic driver updater to update you the latest graphics drivers because Windows may fail to offer the latest driver version.

We would appreciate it if you could get back to us and give us an update with the result.

 

cpu usage 100% when watching video





Hi,

After my windows update, i have a problem with watching movie. When i watching movie the CPU usage reach 100%. May i know what happen??

 

It all depends on what program you are watching it on. If your CPU is running at 100%, then the load is too much and it is also doing the right thing in keeping up with the data that it has to process.

 

Tried potplayer in HW mode and vlc both lags. Trust me it wasn't like this couple of days back. Now I've noticed cpu is at 100% usage while disk usage is not.

 

Hi,

Have you tried to update your graphic card driver ?

 

Yes, it was the only thing I tried but unfortunately 6670 doesn't have much options. I'm gonna reinstall if I can't play 4k videos anymore.

 

I suggest you to take a trace with WPR (it's a built in tool in Windows 10). And we can see exactly what's causing your video's glitches. Here is the steps;

• Open a command line as an Administrator;
• Type this command "wpr -start generalprofile -start CPU -start gpu -start video"; this will start trace recording.
• While recording the trace, try to work on your system (launch a video) for 1 or 2 minutes max.
• Then type this command to stop trace recording "wpr -stop C:\Temp\MyTrace.etl". Make sure the folder where you record the trace exist.
• Compress the resulting file ( VeryImportant)
• Share it through TransferNow or any other file sharing platform.

I'll analyze your trace file and give you a feedback.

See you

 

Thanks alot man, I'll do it tonight and post here. Thanks again.

Here you go mate.

 

The potplayer is using 100 % of CPU ! Have you tried to read your videos with others media players ?

 

Tried MPC-Home Cinema, VLC, and some other too but only player which is bit better with 4k is : SMPlayer but as I told you before, it was working fine before even on potplayer.

 

Can you try to select the nvidia decoder. I think the player is using the integrated decoder and the nvidia decoder so that it can benefit from the HW acceleration !

Can't find it.... and I have Radeon HD 6670 no nvidia.
