hard drive is at 100% all the time

Hi andrewgetz1 ,

If you mean your hard drive is at 100% access all the time:

Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

Click on the Disk Column Header so the arrow faces down

What processes are now at the top of the processes list?

 

Disk usage 100% most of the time

Just another important info.

I have been monitoring it via Resource Monitoring, and most of the time the hard disk is 100%, also the memory hard faults go high.

Is there maybe a problem with memory paging management somehow?

 

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.
