I realize this Issue when i was in windows 8.1 Enterprise so after that after a while i installed win10 .

I had Made a Clean install to free up the space and junks,But still when i give a few load to pc { ie: extracting even a 1GB ZIP file disk goes to 100% .}

My system has following specification:

RAM-4GB

HDD-1 TB

CPU- intel i5

Speed - 2.20 GHZ

Graphics - 2 GB dedicated

Windows 10, 100% disk usage

bought the new Lenovo Laptop E560 which has 8GB Ram, 1TB hard drive sata, core i5 2.4 GHz processor and OS Windows 10 Pro version 1607(OS build 14393.1066). My disk usage in the task manager is 100 % while my ram usage is 40 % in the task manager. When
disk usage is 100 % my laptop hangs until the disk usage is lower.

Running Microsoft's performance scanner and result of scanner at the link given below

Kindly help to resolve the problem

 

Anniversary Update results in Logon Crash

Still struggling with this issue. A small update. When trying to download the update again the computer freezes, restarts and asks again for bootable media. I repeated this once more, this time with the task manager open. I watched as the disk usage climbed
to 100%, stayed there, the cpu usage dropped to 1%. After a minute of staying there, the computer restarted once more and asked for the bootable media again.

Please, help anyone.

 

Can you post a screenshot of the Process Tab sorted by disk usage?

E.G.

 

I have the same problem. I'm only running 4 tabs in Firefox. Here's mine:

 

Created a Acct just to reply to this... had lovely problems when moving files from my E drive to my External drive (which they failed doing so) anyway, those locked up, and I had to do this:

Open up Resource Monitor under the Performance Tab of Task Manager.
Select the Disk Tab.

Now compare your results while sorting (acending) Total Bytes a second.

And you should be able to nail what is consuming your HDD usage.

Here I actually had to close some file transfers that were "behind the scenes" working but "not working" as there was no real physical hard-drive activity.

 

Here is my process and resources monitor window




Please do let me know the problem.

 

likely a disk issue, try here

 

Hello,

I had the same issue, for me the solution was changing the automatic windows updates to manual.
So try changing the settings from "Automatically search and download windows updates" to manually deciding which one to download and install.

Hope it helps you out.

 

It seems that HxTsr.exe was taking up most of the space. The levels were fine (around 10%), and then I saw it start in the monitor and disk usage spiked. I think it's a necessary process. I don't know what to do.*Think

I then suspended it, and usage went to about 20%.

 

I still didn't got my answer , will this Problem be solved if i add more 4GB of RAM and Make total of 8 GB ?

 

You should be fine if there are about 0 hard faults, unless the computer is feeling really slow.

I just realized that the graph shows activity time, that it's active 100% of the time, not using 100% of the disk. It's like using your phone. You can just look at it (100% of the time) and not run any processes. It would still be running, 100% active.

Your computer will be reading and writing small bits of information from time to time.

What does your "Taskmgr > Performance > Memory" graph show?
