  1. Disk performance 100% and random spikes help please


    I have seen many different solutions to this problem of having your disk at 100%. If I stop super fetch it helps but I still have spikes that freeze applications. I don't want to permanently stop super fetch if I don't have to as it sounds like a helpful application.


    I have tried the following to fix the issue:



    1. Stop superfetch through Command prompt- helps but still spikes

    (description of superfetch sounds helpful)



    2. Windows troubleshooting- troubleshoot fix updates

    one solution came back and windows reintsalled drivers? reinstalled something.





    3. Checked for issues with Webroot, my anti-virus program, such as malware etc. and nothing was found.





    4. Restarted computer.--- this doesn't really help.



    5. Updated drivers. Driver easy updated all of the drivers...they seemed mostly irrelevant.

    Here is a list of drivers that were updated.



    Intel(R) Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controller

    Intel(R) Serial IO GPIO Host Controller - INT3450

    Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630

    Intel(R) Watchdog Timer Driver (Intel(R) WDT)

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

    Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz




    6. Checked battery for a high power plan. I am currently using the performance option.


    7. I have 31.8GB available RAM. I don't see this as a problem.


    8. Removed skype app - this program tends to run for many people so I got rid of it.


    9. I ran a chkdsk in the command prompt which found 0 issues.

    I'm unsure what to try.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 disk keeps spiking to 100%

    Hi,

    My disk keeps spiking to 100% since I upgraded to Windows 10. I upgraded in September and the problem started with little infrequent spikes where the disk would stay at 100% for a few seconds. However since September the problem has got progressively worse
    and now the disk usage frequently reaches 100% and it stays at 100% for about 5 minutes.

    I've tried various solutions on the internet to 100% disk but none of them have worked.

    Disk performance 100% and random spikes help please

    100% Disk usage spike on Windows 10

    Recently I have experienced that when running most applications (especially gaming) my Laptop would have a disk usage spike to 99% or 100%. when I check the task manager there is no specific program using the disk, its just at 100% usually forcing me to
    do a hard restart. baring in mind that when I run the programs the usually run smoothly and very randomly the disk usage spikes. this has only been happening since downloading windows 10. I have read many threads and applied many fixes such as disabling SuperFetch,
    BIT service and windows update. I have also disable cloud based protection which seemed to work for some people but not for me, any other suggestions?
