    SSD C:drive at 100% with nothing runningOkay I’m losing my mind here. A week ago my SSD drive showed at 100% usage on task manager under performance. Looking at high usage programs on the drive section shows nothing out of the ordinary.I’ve rebooted a million times, the drive isn’t old, I disabled Microsoft tips and tricks, I system scanned with command prompt and through antivirus, disabled all startup apps, reset temporary memory/deleted all stored temporary data, I’ve changed power mode to be high performance, changed data allocation, etc. I have had it fix for about a day or so through s

  2. Windows "C" drive always runs at 100%

    My setup is an MSI laptop, specifically the GV62 8RD. It is 4 years old. Early this year I increased the ram to 32 GB. It started to slow down a bit this summer, but this was fixed by removing any extra files and defragmenting the drive. For the past week, my C drive is always at 100%, even with no programs running. This is slowing my computer's performance to the point it's almost impossible to utilize it. I have defragmented the drive again, uninstalled the latest update, disabled superfetching, updated all drivers, and tried a dozen other tweaks suggested by tech sites, to no avail. This weekend I completely formatted the PC and started factory fresh. Yet it is still barely useable for menial tasks and unusable for gaming (the intent of the PC). A friend recommended Reimage Repair to detect any issues, and it gives my Pc a clean bill of health. Is there anything else i should attempt, should I bring it to a repair shop, or cut my losses and say that my laptop is at the end of its lifespan?

    Update KB4019472 is making the drive of my PC run at 100% for over 24 hours, please help

    For almost a day my PC tried to update the KB4019472, finally getting the update history to indicate the update was complete. During this time my C drive (main drive) was running at 100%.

    The main drive continues to run at 100% and freezing my PC.

    I have rebooted multiple times.

    I am also running Office 365 for Small Business.

    Any suggestions?????
