    Any app that is currently in use is using 100% disk usage


    This is an issue of mine that has been annoying be ever since I got my PC which was in January, Any app that is currently in use or is loading is using 100% of my disk. I have tried all the fixes 1. Turning off Windows Search, SysMain all that stuff All the generic fixes have not worked and mostly relate to windows processes which is not my problem. I have checked crystal disk which says that the drive is healthy, literally brand new a few months ago. My Specs are: I5 9400 RTX 2060 8GB 2666MHz RAM Seagate ST1000DM010 7200 rpm

    This issue is causing games to stutter and apps taking forever to load

    I am planning on upgrading to an SSD to try and fix the problem but my hopes are not high

    If anyone has any advice on whether this will work or any fixes will be greatly appreciated

    Thanks Any app that is currently in use is using 100% disk usage :)

    100% Disk usage ongoing

    Everytime I turn on my computer disk usage goes to 100% for a few minutes, sometimes a long while. Windows Defender finds no virus, all definitions are current, and there is no history of potentially harmful items detected. 100% disk usage problem began
    about a month or two ago. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

    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.

    Summer has ended and my girlfriend booted her school laptop for the first time in months, only for it to be so unbearably slow that it took several minutes to log in. She handed it to me and said "fix it"... that was 3 days ago and now I am here to humbly
    ask the community what is going on with this GD laptop.

    It boots and task manager reports 100%CPU usage, it then lags for several seconds and displays 100%disk usage with CPU usage bouncing between 30-60%.

    If you leave it alone with task manager running it will eventually quiet down to a reasonable 0-5% disk usage, but doing ANYTHING causes it to bounce right back to 100%.

    I have tried EVERYTHING.

    • disable superfetch.
    • disable microsoft search.
    • disable updates and suggestive tips.
    • updated to the most current version of microsoft. (it hadn't been updated since 2018 when she bought it.)
    • reconfigured AHCI PCIE.
    • changed energy options.
    • disabled indexing.
    • reset the virtual memory.
    • ran disk defragment and disabled all scheduling.
    • updated all drivers.
    • deleted google chrome.
    • Disabled all services that weren't microsoft services and disabled all startup programs (clean boot).
    Still no change in the disk usage.

    Its an HP Laptop model 15-bw0xx with Windows 10 home edition version 10.0.18362

    after messing with it this long im considering replacing the HDD with an SSD but I fear that it wont fix the issue.
