Windows 10: Disk performance 100%

Hi everyone. I have bought a new PC, and I have Windows 11 Pro. If it matters, I have M.2 Adata Swordfish 2 TB, 32 GB RAM and Intel i5-12600KF.Most of the below is probably unrelevant, but I'll leave it here just in case. My initial language was Ukrainian. When setting up Windows, I changed it to English UK. In five days or so, troubles started to appear - quite often, disk performance was up 100%, causing significant delays and freezes. In most cases, I surfed the internet using Chrome, with maybe 5-8 pages open. Usually, when it was happening, I saw additional languages on my keyboard lay

:)

 

Clean install, disk usage at 100%

I've seen that article. and I am in fact not running that driver. I followed the steps and it does not appear in the list.

 

Disk Usage 100 % in Windows 10 degraded my system performance

Hi Zahid,

To help us identify the cause of the issue and then find the proper resolution for it, let us know if there were any changes made on the PC prior to the issue.

Since the steps you have taken didn't help, here are a few suggestions that you can try to resolve Windows 10 high disk usage issue:

Disable the Superfetch service.

This service is built to improve PC performance by speeding up the startup of programs and pre-loading the apps you often use into memory. If you don't do anything after powering on, it will still take up high percentage of the disk. To disable the Superfetch
service, follow these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select Computer Management.
  
• 
  Expand Services and Applications on the left column and click on
  Services.
  
• 
  Navigate to Superfetch and double-click on it, and then select
  Disable from the drop-down menu of Startup type.
  

Update the AHCI driver.

Outdated AHCI driver will affect the system performance and result in 100% disk usage in Windows 10. Furthermore, outdated, missing or broken drivers can also cause other issues like Bluetooth not working, PC not waking up from sleep, etc.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Disk 100%

Hello,

If your PC is exhibiting a slow performance or a high CPU disk usage, it could be that Windows may need to update some outdated components within the system. When you check for updates, your PC will also search for the latest device drivers, which can also
help improve the performance of your device. We suggest that you check if there are updates waiting to be installed on your device. Here's how to check for updates in Windows 10:

• Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & security >
  Windows Update, select Check for updates.
• If there are updates waiting to be installed, kindly install them, and restart your device to make sure that the updates are installed.
• After restarting, check if the disk usage is still at 100%.

If the issue persists, feel free to post back.
