Windows 10: my PC Disk shoots up to 50% and slows my entire system down

my PC Disk shoots up to 50% and slows my entire system down. Im running Windows 10 Home with i7 Intel 9700k and am not sure why this started happening. My HDD disk is a seagate less than 4 months old and is 7200 rpm at 2tb of storage with 1.5tb still available.

Slow PC - 50% Disk Usage but 100% on C: Drive

Hi. i've seen multiple posts on the 100% disk issue and tried all of the previously suggested actions (disabling search, superfetch etc and all that). I had no 'slow' disk issues at all as MS updates seem to have rectified the situation in the Spring of
2018 for us. However, since a September Windows 10 update, we are slow to boot up and slow-running again. When I access the task manager, processes tab, I see disk usage at 50% rather than the previous 100% give-away...

But when I look at the Performance tab, Disk 0 C: (the main hard drive of my machine) is operating at 100% nearly all of the time...

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this issue please a the general running speed and in particular the boot up speed has deteriorated significantly. And in advance, I'm grateful for all suggestions but please don't suggest buying an SSD as I'm
looking for a way of undoing whatever problems MS has caused again rather than having to pay several hundred Euros to fix faults they caused.

Cheers
