Windows 10: I keep seeing 100% disk being used in my task manager

I've read some articles and followed instructions to fix this, but always seems to come back. I'll be about my business as usual then notice an extreme slow down. I'll open my task manager to see the disk is at 100% usage. Any tips on how to get rid of this? It does not seem to correlate to any particular program. I can be playing high graphics intensive video game one day and be fine (30% usage), then I could check my email or write in a work processing document another day and it jumps back to 100% and is super slow. Any help would be appreciated.

Task manager showing disk usage 100%

100% disk usage can have many causes.

What are the top 5 processes listed in the task manager using the disk?

 

Task Manager has Disk at 100% when only 0 - 3 mg are shown as used

I have:

1) Formatted my disk and partitioned it as needed for Windows 10

1) Installed Windows 10 Home Edition 64 bit

2) Disabled Superfetch

3) Disabled Windows Search

4) Disabled BITS

5) Uninstalled Skype and SkypeHost.exe

6) Set MSISupported to "0" in registry

After each step I would reboot my computer and get the same problem 100% Disk in Task Manager

2) Installed Norton Antivirus and disabled Windows Defender and rebooted.

1) The system booted and hit 100% in Task Manager for about 5 minutes.

2) Attempted to open Windows Notepad and the Task Manager went back to 100% Disk.

In all instances the Task Manager Disk Listing would show between 0.3 and 2.5 total usage and still show the Disk at 100% on the top freezing the computer.
