Windows 10: Disk and Memory usage spikes in windows 10

Hey, I've had this problem where my disk usage would spike to 100% before going back down to like 2%. I looked at countless forum posts and different sites and I found something which was a temporary fix, which was turning off tips about windows...
That worked for a while, and it just makes the intervals in-between the spikes longer, and now my memory has started to spike pretty high to about 99%, and wont come back down. When it does this I have to do a hard shut down as my pc just slows to unusable...
I also tried disabling ndu.sys in the registry, which didn't help either
I know it is not my RAM as I have tried it with other RAM and I still get the problem...

I am thinking of just restoring my PC back to Windows 7 soon if I cant get this fixed.

Thanks *Smile

Windows 10 100% disk usage

Memory should not be the issue. I've run much more graphic intensive games before, and also much lower, and have still had the same issue.

I experience a disk usage spike anytime I execute a command. Even with everything off, and memory usage at 30%, it will spike to 100%.

 

Extremely high (100%) Disk Usage - Windows 10

Hello,

From sometime in October, after an update, there have been periods, sometimes intermittent, sometime persisting for a long time, when Disk usage spikes up to 100%, and makes a lot of things unusable.

I did some researching, and disabled a bunch of stuff, like Windows notifications, Windows search, background intelligent transfer and superfetch, even OneDrive, but even on Windows 10 version 1511, Disk usage spikes to 100%, the offending application / service
being anything from System to memory compression to 3rd party applications...

This is becoming extremely irritating, on certain occasions, the PC has been virtually unusable due to disk usage, and Windows often displays wretched performance.

The PC is a high powered laptop, and the drivers are updated as per latest OEM specifications.

Performing a clean boot did not solve the problem. Sometimes cutting off the internet drops the high usage, but other times, it does not help either. I have run out of ideas on how to solve this issue. Chkdsk and other disk checks do not report any error.

Could anyone suggest a remedy for this? Barring a system reset...it used to work fine before an update in mid - October. Subsequent updates have had no positive results. Even this post took quite some time to type and actually post, because of the disk usage
spike.

Thanks a lot.

 

So called "Memory leak", drivers, specially WiFi and BT seem to cause that most. Can't you see in task manager what takes most free RAM ?

 

nope nothing in task manager...
