    Freeing up processes

    Task Master Processes

    Hi Tony,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand your concern about disk usage on Task Manager. This issue might occur due to applications or services running at the startup on the computer. Bad sectors on the hard drive or outdated and incompatible drivers might also cause such issues.

    Try the below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: As a basic troubleshooting steps, I suggest you to search for the process that consumes more space and try to end the process by right clicking on it and clicking
    End task.

    Step 2: Run the System maintenance troubleshooter.

    System Maintenance troubleshooter finds and clean up unused files and shortcuts and performs maintenance tasks.

    • Press Windows key and type Troubleshooting.
    • Select Troubleshooting and hit Enter.
    • Click on View all in the left pane of the window.
    • Select System Maintenance.
    • Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

    Also, refer to
    Free up drive space in Windows 10     Microsoft article to free up the drive space.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue to assist you further.
