Windows 10: Anybody know why after a bit my disc usage craws to 0%?

I have about a 170 gigabyte SSD and after a bit of downloading a somewhat large file my SSD decides to just stop downloading staying at 0 bytes of usage anybody know a fix for this?

100% disc usage

I have been having problems with my Dell Optiplex 5260 for months now. I was running Windows 10 but have managed to upgrade to Windows 11 with some difficulty - its not easy with 100% disc usage - but still the problem persists.

When I start up the CPU and Memory are fine but the disc usage is 100%. I have done all the checks for damaged/failing hard disc but its fine. I have worked through all the suggestions in Kapilarya.com fix 100% disk usage in windows 11 and also lots of other suggestions on the internet but to no avail.

The one thing that has changed a bit since I started to work on this computer to try and resolve the problem is that sometimes, after about 20 mins or so the disc usage drops to normal levels for an idle computer with nothing running and then starts to fluctuate wildly from 0 to 100 and everything in between - see image attached.

Any thoughts and new ideas gratefully received. Its so annoying and has rendered the computer useless.

 

Raid 0 help

Hi all, I've followed the IRST raid installation directions and I have created myself a Raid 0 volume. Rapid storage confirms my successful migration from a system disc to a raid 0 array. I'm also able to select it as my boot device in BIOS, but what I don't understand is why it is not listed in my Drives under my computer

In fact, my computer still lists my original C: drive with the original capacity. I feel as if I've miss an important step here and I'm unsure how to proceed.

 

Upgraded to Windows 10 - Disk 0 Usage 100

I agree. This entire thread has appeared unproductive as this issue continues. The one point perhaps that has not been discussed appears to be that even though the disk 0 usage is at 100% the processes running never add up to 100percent. for example at 24%
usage there are 10 processes listed as using 0.1 mb/sec which totals 1MB /sec. from that one could assume that at 100% the processes may total 4MB/sec but I routinely see the system process spike upwards of 25Mb/sec and after any usage climbs over 7mb/sec
the disk 0 reads at 100%. also the running processes are never the same. there is no one process which creates the issue.

A better solution would be for Microsoft to explain the point and purpose of the disk usage, and how it is reported. it is reported at the top as a percentage and in the row as a transfer speed. (mb/s).

The question is what is up with that specifically, how do I determine the max transfer speed of disc 0, and at what point will system performance slow to an unacceptable user level? when it does what are the steps to take to identify and resolve the issue?
