Windows 10: Computer Very Slow Task Manager Performance Disk 0 at 100% Microsoft Edge not responding

My computer at inopportune times will come to almost a complete halt or running very slow. I have Windows 10 and when it is running slow, I will look at the task manager, and the CPU and Disk under Processes Tab will be at levels lower than 80% or 60%. When I go to the performance tab, Disk 0 is running at 100%. Microsoft Edge, Excel, or other systems will not be responding. Sometimes when Microsoft Edge is sitting for a while with several tabs open it will build up to over 1,000 MB. Why am I running so slow? How do I fix?

Task Manager has Disk at 100% when only 0 - 3 mg are shown as used

I have:

1) Formatted my disk and partitioned it as needed for Windows 10

1) Installed Windows 10 Home Edition 64 bit

2) Disabled Superfetch

3) Disabled Windows Search

4) Disabled BITS

5) Uninstalled Skype and SkypeHost.exe

6) Set MSISupported to "0" in registry

After each step I would reboot my computer and get the same problem 100% Disk in Task Manager

2) Installed Norton Antivirus and disabled Windows Defender and rebooted.

1) The system booted and hit 100% in Task Manager for about 5 minutes.

2) Attempted to open Windows Notepad and the Task Manager went back to 100% Disk.

In all instances the Task Manager Disk Listing would show between 0.3 and 2.5 total usage and still show the Disk at 100% on the top freezing the computer.

As of today

1) Formatted my disk and partitioned it as needed for Windows 10

1) Installed Windows 10 Home Edition 64 bit

2) Disabled Superfetch

3) Disabled Windows Search

4) Disabled BITS

5) Uninstalled Skype and SkypeHost.exe

6) Set MSISupported to "0" in registry

After each step I would reboot my computer and get the same problem 100% Disk in Task Manager

7) Ran a Clean Boot and was able to open and have limited use of Microsoft Edge

a) The limited use is opening Edge and waiting 4 - 5 minutes for the Disk to drop from 100% each

time I performed an action in Edge
