Windows 10: High disk usage due to "System" process

Hey community,I am YeasirI have been facing this issue more than 1 week. I tried a lot of ways to solve this problem but no luck. My computer significantly slowed down. Even it lags when I watch YouTube videos. I noticed when I do any activity like watching videos, the disk usage goes high and the whole system slows down. I even played some games which I don't play for this issue. I am in need of urgent help who knows better about this stuff. I will appreciate the person who helps me through this problem.
