    100% Disk usage while copying data from USB drive


    Hi all,

    I'm facing a weird issue with Windows 10 where if I'm copying data from my USB 3.0 drive to my Hard drive it takes the disk usage to 100% thereby making the computer unusable. I'm having a Dell Inspiron 15 5577, 7th Gen Intel Core i5-7300HQ with 8 GB RAM, 5400 RPM 1 TB HDD, 4GB Nvidia GT 1050 running Windows 10 Version 1803 Build 17134.228.

    I've been noticing this on with Windows 10 from the very beginning. What can be the issue?

    Thanks in advance 100% Disk usage while copying data from USB drive :)

    :)

    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.
