    100% disk usage

    I have tried every possible way to fix this issue of disk going to 100% usage at an idle state. Disabling superfetch, windows search have resulted in no use. I have also tried to disable useless services but nothing works. Once it reaches 100% disk usage,
    it freezes. Please help...

    P.S. it is definitely a software issue
