Windows 10: Disk at 100%

I have an all-in-one Dell computer that for the last year or so The disc has been running at 100% almost all the time. It seems to do that for at least a half hour and then it fluctuates between 60% to 100% after that. I've gone online and deactivated as many programs running in the background and startups that I can without affecting performance and it's still does the same thing. Not sure what else to check or work on to improve this.

Clean install, disk usage at 100%

Disk is always at 100%

Hi Richard,

Some bugs or disk drive errors may cause high disk utilization. If your task manager shows 100% disk utilization, you may need to optimize Windows by following these troubleshooting methods:

Disable Windows Search

Some bug in Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 causes some "search loop" that causes maximum utilization of your disk. To disable
Windows Search, kindly follow these steps:

• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type services.msc and press Enter.
• Scroll down to find Windows Search, right-click it, and select
  Properties.
• Change the Startup type to Disabled and save the changes.

Disable Superfetch Service

Superfetch service has been identified as a possible cause of 100% disk utilization on Windows 10. To disable Superfetch service, kindly follow these steps:

• Press Windows + X and select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type net.exe stop superfetch and press Enter.
• Wait for a minute for the changes to apply and close the Command Prompt.

Let us know how things goes.

Regards.

 

Disk working at 100%

Hi everyone,





I recently went through some steps online to be able to start my laptop in clean boot mode so that I can identify the problem why my desktop works 100% but when i started in clean boot mode i am still using 100% of my disk. I really don't know what to suggest. I already tried disabling Super Fetch but it tells me an error code: Error 87: The parameter is wrong.
