Disk usage spikes to 100 % when using browser.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• 
  What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• 
  Is the issue specific when using the browsers?
  
• 
  Did you check the same from Microsoft Edge?
  
• 
  Does the computer freeze when the disk usage rise to 100%?
  
• 
  How much space is left in the hard drive?
  

As a basic troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run System Maintenance troubleshooter finds and clean up unused files and shortcuts and performs maintenance
tasks.

• • Press Windows key and type Troubleshooting.
  • Select Troubleshooting and hit Enter.
  • Click on View all in the left pane of the window.
  • Select System Maintenance.

Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

If you are using Internet Explorer, I suggest you to run Internet Explorer performance troubleshooter and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

1. Type troubleshooting in the search bar.

2. Select Troubleshooting.

3. Select View all on the top left corner.

4. Click Internet Explorer performance.

Phone usage at 100%

My Lumia Icon (verizon) suddenly started draining the battery rather quickly.

I investigated by going to Battery Saver and checking the usage. It shows the phone usage at 100%.

I realize this isn't much information but any suggestions?

Disabling the recently opened items helps to speed up the list launch. To disable items that are recently opened, follow the instruction below:
