  3. 100% Usage on Secondary HDD

    Secondary HDD sometimes running at 100%. But looking at the I/O page, I cannot see any usage of the secondary Hdd. What's weird is that every time I restart my computer, the 100% usage moves to other secondary Hdds. Such as if disk E,F,H runs at 100%,
    I restart, and maybe dick C will run at 100%. I've tried all the solutions on the internet including modifying the services and closing windows defender. But still didn't work.

    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.
