Windows 10: After Windows 11 upgrade I kept experiencing high disk usage 100%.

After Windows 11 upgrade I kept experiencing high disk usage 100%. I removed the HDD and replaced it with an SSD but I am still experiencing the same issues to the point where the laptop is unusable. I am using an HP laptop 11th Gen IntelR CoreTM i3-1125G4 @ 2.00GHz. I have tried disabling certain services as suggested on some of the threads but nothing is working.

Windows 10 & 11 idle high ssd usage and high cpu usage

Hi Dushan. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.

1) Run the SSD maker's diagnostic toolkit from the Support Downloads web page for the drive model; if none then use one of these:

4) Run System File Checker/DISM in WIndows 11:

5) If that doesn't fix it then you can do a Windows 11 Repair Upgrade which reinstalls Windows while saving your files and apps in place, brings it up to the latest version by the most stable method, takes about an hour and resolves most problems: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/repair-install-wi...

Feel free to ask back any questions. Please report back results for all steps given so I know what else to suggest if necessary.

WIN10 100% DISK USAGE (SPIN NOT SPACE) PROBLEM

<snip>

In the Task Manager, under Performance tab, the disk utilization reaches to 100% due to which system became lagging and unresponsive. It started freezing in few moments and this keeps happening until disk usage reduces from 100%.

Control panel > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > Processor Power Management > Maximum Processor state.

Also, once I start Chrome 64, it uses lots of cpu and ram to do absolutely nothing.

Windows 10 - High Disk Usage - 100%

I am seeing high disk usage, often between 90 and 100%.

I have tried adjusting some settings, some help temporarily but after a restart I have the same high disk usage issue.

• Disable superfetch
• Disable Windows Search
• Disable Windows Update
• Disable Geolocation Services
• Disable Network Services
• Manually adjust paging file size for programs and background services
• Got rid of apps (no chrome, got rid of bloat like Amazon, etc.)

The main user of disk usage appears to be Service Host Local System 13 and it uses anywhere between .5 and 10 MB.

Below is a snip of the task manager. Computer is Dell Inspiron 15 - 3000 series. 4 GB RAM, 64 bit operating system and AD A4 processor if that helps.

Any ideas on how to resolve the high disk usage issue permanently?
