    Windows 10 - High Disk Usage - 100%

    I am seeing high disk usage, often between 90 and 100%.

    I have tried adjusting some settings, some help temporarily but after a restart I have the same high disk usage issue.

    • Disable superfetch
    • Disable Windows Search
    • Disable Windows Update
    • Disable Geolocation Services
    • Disable Network Services
    • Manually adjust paging file size for programs and background services
    • Got rid of apps (no chrome, got rid of bloat like Amazon, etc.)
    The main user of disk usage appears to be Service Host Local System 13 and it uses anywhere between .5 and 10 MB.

    Below is a snip of the task manager. Computer is Dell Inspiron 15 - 3000 series. 4 GB RAM, 64 bit operating system and AD A4 processor if that helps.

    Any ideas on how to resolve the high disk usage issue permanently?
