Windows 10: Disk usage is often at 100% because of the processes System and SysMain

Title says it. Is there anything I can do about it? I'm on an HDD so these processes are often taking up a ton of disk usage and basically freezing the system. It has been happening for a while now, I thought it was a glitch and reinstalled windows but the problem persists.

Saltgrass,

If I start Sysmain, the disk usage goes up to 100%. I then stop Sysmain and disk usage goes down.

Thanks,

How to solve 100 % disk usage in windows 10 after fall update?

Hi Manikanteswara,

Usually, a virus could be the main cause of 100% disk usage. The first step in rectifying the problem is to check your disk usages. You need to open the Task Manager and take a look at your disk usages to identify the programs or applications that are causing
your hard disk 100% usage. Here's how:

• Type task manager in the Windows search bar and select the best match.
  
• In the Processes tab, look at the disk process to see what is causing your hard disk 100% usage.

Kindly send a screenshot, so I can take a closer look.

Hoping to hear from you soon.
