Windows 10: 100% Disk with Newer HP Laptop and Windows 10

I have a relatively new HP laptop running Windows 10 that is showing 100% disk usage in Task Manager. I have tried all the commonly suggested fixes including:

• Restoring the system to factory settings and scrubbing the drives. (To ensure I didn't have a virus, malware, or corrupt driver)
• Installing all Windows updates
• Disabling windows search & smartfetch (Changed smartfetch in the registry to 0 so that it never runs)
• Disabling automatic windows updates
• Uninstalling One Drive
• Changing the size of data that can be cached to the hard disk based on the RAM
• Running diagnotics on the hardware
• Delaying start of all possible apps that don't need to run at start up

Is there some update / patch for Windows 10 that I can apply? Are there any other suggestions that someone can offer?

:)
