Windows 10: Disk and network usage stays near 0% even when downloading

I have two disks, a HDD and SSD. A month or two ago, I noticed significant network issues where I would be <20 ping and it would spike significantly into the thousands, and I'd lose all network connection. Then I noticed whenever I tried to download anything, it barely went above 10kb/s. When I view task manager it shows both network and disk at 0% usage. My hard drive is ancient but the SSD is new and I recently upgraded my ram.

Upgraded to Windows 10 - Disk 0 Usage 100

I agree. This entire thread has appeared unproductive as this issue continues. The one point perhaps that has not been discussed appears to be that even though the disk 0 usage is at 100% the processes running never add up to 100percent. for example at 24%
usage there are 10 processes listed as using 0.1 mb/sec which totals 1MB /sec. from that one could assume that at 100% the processes may total 4MB/sec but I routinely see the system process spike upwards of 25Mb/sec and after any usage climbs over 7mb/sec
the disk 0 reads at 100%. also the running processes are never the same. there is no one process which creates the issue.

A better solution would be for Microsoft to explain the point and purpose of the disk usage, and how it is reported. it is reported at the top as a percentage and in the row as a transfer speed. (mb/s).

The question is what is up with that specifically, how do I determine the max transfer speed of disc 0, and at what point will system performance slow to an unacceptable user level? when it does what are the steps to take to identify and resolve the issue?

 

DISK USAGE (first 100%, then 0-20%)

I will check the link you provided with WIKI about this app (actually I already checked it.. but will do again).

I want to add right settings... any chance that you help me with setting up WPRUI.exe so that the results can show us what causing my problems?

I would like to start this app immediately after I boot up... and let it run for 15 minutes

Generally:

• 0-5 mins: 100% disk usage (according to task manager ACTIVE TIME)
• after that: 0-20% disk usage (according to task manager ACTIVE TIME)

It would be helpful if you tell me which options to turn on in this app.. .considering my problem is the DISK

 

Why is my disk usage so low during download?

My pc downloads are so slow, never going to what the speedtests say, and when I go to task manager, it says only 0-6 percent of the disk is being used. I can't find any other reason that my downloads would be this slow, and can't find any answers to why the usage is near 0.
