  1. Disk Usage 100% and Frequent Freezes


    So I'm getting this Disk Usage 100% since about a month for about 5 - 10 mins after bootup and randomly. Computer is completely unusable during this times. No process is consuming disk resources (0% I/O) . I've tried everything on the internet except Clean installing windows.

    What I've tried so far(Might have missed to mention some stuff),
    -Updating windows and all drivers
    -Disabling SysMain, Search, Update, BITS services.
    -Disabling SuperFetch from registry
    -Checked for Malware with Malwarebyte
    -Disabling AV(I only use Defender)
    -Disabling Windows Notifications
    -Checked Disk for Bad Sectors (SMART says Good)
    -Ran DISM to check and restore System files
    -Reset virtual memory
    -Using high performance power plan (This works sometimes when switching to this when I get the issue in Balanced power mode, but starts again randomly)
    -Ran Disk Cleanup, CCleaner, Defrag, SFC
    -Clean boot with all Non-Microsoft services and startup services disabled(Still happens in clean boot environment)
    -Uninstalled Photoshop CC (Saw somewhere that this cause the issue too) and other unwanted programs.

    -Deleted "Software Distribution" folder after seen process TiWorker.exe on the top from what I could decipher from the WPR record. Seemed to fix the Disk Activity on bootup, still occures randomly. (Record I've attached below was taken after doing this so TiWorker is nowhere to be seen).

    -Fresh started windows.


    Other fixes that doesn't apply to me(I hope),
    -Chrome and Skype settings(Doesn't use or have installed either of them )
    -AHCI Driver tweak in registry (I don't have the mentioned driver file, still did it to the one I have)

    Didn't tried,
    -Windows Reinstall. I dont want to do this unless there's no other way.

    Other Observations,
    -Didn't encounter the issue in Safe Boot mode.

  2. 100% disk usage

    The most common cause of 100% disk usage appears to be Superfetch and Prefetch, but there are also other causes. You can try disabling both these features and see if it helps.

    This article provides steps to disable prefecth and superfetch:

    100% disk usage and memory usage

    Hi,

    100% disk usage and memory usage can be caused by a software corruption, running application running on the background and malware or virus infection.

    For us to properly isolate the issue and provide an appropriate resolution, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Did the issue happen after installing the Fall Creators?
    • Did you receive any error messages?
    • Can you send us the screenshot of the Task Manager showing the 100% disk usage and memory usage?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    For isolation purposes, please perform a clean boot to see if the same issue will occur. Refer to this
    article for more information on how to perform a clean boot
    in Windows.

    Looking forward to your response.

  4. Disk Usage 100% and Frequent Freezes

    Disk usage 100%

    Hi,

    I recently installed a new motherboard and CPU, since doing this I have noticed that my disk usage always hits 90-100% frequently.

    From what have seen under task manager its the system hogging this mostly, but varies as then it can be service host taking up disk usage.

    I have read all the other answers and disabled everything that the forums have suggested yet i still have the same problem!

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try ?

    Thanks
