Windows 10: C drive usage spikes to 100% while playing video games

I've been having this issue for a little while where I will launch any game on my computer and anywhere within 10 seconds to 5 minutes my c dive usage will spike to 100% and my PC will subsequently crash. Oddly, none of my games are installed on my c drive, it is exclusively my OS, so I cant even begin to see why a drive that has nothing to do with the game I'm playing will cause my PC to crash. I have tried everything from verifying my windows files to reinstalling windows to no avail. Please help, I have no idea what going on.

100% Disk usage spike on Windows 10

Recently I have experienced that when running most applications (especially gaming) my Laptop would have a disk usage spike to 99% or 100%. when I check the task manager there is no specific program using the disk, its just at 100% usually forcing me to
do a hard restart. baring in mind that when I run the programs the usually run smoothly and very randomly the disk usage spikes. this has only been happening since downloading windows 10. I have read many threads and applied many fixes such as disabling SuperFetch,
BIT service and windows update. I have also disable cloud based protection which seemed to work for some people but not for me, any other suggestions?
