Windows 10: Help with disk 100% error

Hi, few days ago, I encountered the win 10 auto repair loop error on my Dell laptop. I had to do a system restore in order to resolve that issue. Immediately after, I am encountering extremely slow laptop which I believe is caused by disk 100% usage as shown on my taskbar manager.

I have tried some of the common solutions provided which includes disabling sysadmin and diagtrack. I have also disabled all background processes yet it still shows as disk 100%.

Does anyone know of any remedy to this issue?

How to Fix 100% Disk Usage Error in Windows 10

 

Disk is always at 100%

Hi Richard,

Some bugs or disk drive errors may cause high disk utilization. If your task manager shows 100% disk utilization, you may need to optimize Windows by following these troubleshooting methods:

Disable Windows Search

Some bug in Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 causes some "search loop" that causes maximum utilization of your disk. To disable
Windows Search, kindly follow these steps:

• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type services.msc and press Enter.
• Scroll down to find Windows Search, right-click it, and select
  Properties.
• Change the Startup type to Disabled and save the changes.

Disable Superfetch Service

Superfetch service has been identified as a possible cause of 100% disk utilization on Windows 10. To disable Superfetch service, kindly follow these steps:

• Press Windows + X and select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type net.exe stop superfetch and press Enter.
• Wait for a minute for the changes to apply and close the Command Prompt.

Let us know how things goes.

Regards.
