    • In which device are you facing this issue?
    • Are you using an external HDD or internal HDD?

    Alternatively, you can check for the read and write speed of the HDD in task manager. Please follow the steps mentioned below to check the read and write speed of the hard drive:

    1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc key together on the keyboard.
    2. Click on Performance tab.
    3. Click on Disk 0.

  3. Low Read and Write disk speeds (Windows 10)

    the boot speed is fine, used to be slow but i fixed that. The main issue is the disk speeds. because i notice on start up after boot the disk is 100% with very poor write and read speeds. Focus on the Hard disk please. "There
    is a lot of system HD writing." is this fixable?

    Hard Drive 100% active time on every boot up, with very low read and write speeds, any help?

    So I am running an HP laptop with a 1TB hard drive, a Hitachi 5400rpm drive. On windows 8 and on windows 10, nearly every boot up (from Shut Down and Sleep) causes my disk to have 100% active time and read speeds in the neighborhood of 3-10 MB/s, writes
    of 5MB and often less. It becomes extremely slow and during this 2-5 minute period, taking an entire minute to launch any programs like Chrome. here is a coppied graph data from task manager, pay attention to active time, reads, writes, and respince times; Disk

    Read speed 9.4 MB/s

    Write speed 433 KB/s

    Active time 100%

    Average response time 18890 ms

    Yesterday, I found a thread that could stop Windows Defender from hogging most of this problem, and altered it in resource manager, yet it STILL uses 30-70% disk activity on most every boot up. Task manager shows many different programs that would be easy,
    background, small tasks, becoming a huge struggle and they too start to hog as much disk time as possible, when they should only use a few, maybe 10% disk time and my drive should be reading at 100 MB/s and writing at 90 MB/s.

    If anyone has a solution for this, it would be much appreciated. If anyone knows this as a hard drive failure, please let me know. Here is what a good Task Manager load looks like;
