Windows 10: Just updated Windows 10 and noticed my main HD (Disc 0) is at a constant 100 percent usage...

Main HD is at 100 percent usage. Other HDs are at 4 percent. Is this a problem?

windows 10 disk usage 100 percent

Did not help if anything it was a little worse. I did notice defender was running even though Norton is installed. I was able to disable defender. it was a little better. at boot up the usage is 100 percent for 3 to 4 minutes the goes to 0 as soon as I
open any apps it shoots to 100 percent but will eventually drop down

 

100 percent disk usage

iv tried everything suggested there, nothing helped. everytime i restart my computer the disk is in 100 percent usage. some times it will go under(to 50-60) but never below that. and i dont think is "Just means that your hard drive controller is maxing out and performing as designed", because every time it gets to 100 percent the computer get very slow.

 

Upgraded to Windows 10 - Disk 0 Usage 100

I agree. This entire thread has appeared unproductive as this issue continues. The one point perhaps that has not been discussed appears to be that even though the disk 0 usage is at 100% the processes running never add up to 100percent. for example at 24%
usage there are 10 processes listed as using 0.1 mb/sec which totals 1MB /sec. from that one could assume that at 100% the processes may total 4MB/sec but I routinely see the system process spike upwards of 25Mb/sec and after any usage climbs over 7mb/sec
the disk 0 reads at 100%. also the running processes are never the same. there is no one process which creates the issue.

A better solution would be for Microsoft to explain the point and purpose of the disk usage, and how it is reported. it is reported at the top as a percentage and in the row as a transfer speed. (mb/s).

The question is what is up with that specifically, how do I determine the max transfer speed of disc 0, and at what point will system performance slow to an unacceptable user level? when it does what are the steps to take to identify and resolve the issue?
