Windows 10: QUESTION: Windows 10 100% Disk usage after fresh install of windows 10 and a clean hard drive

Question:
Is it normal for my disk usage to be at 100% for 1-2 minutes from doing tasks such as using 3-4 tabs on Firefox and using the Windows app ''Groove Music''


Back Story:

So I started consistently getting 100% Disk usage after 2 years of the PC running smoothly. I tried everything out there to try fix it, even though it did not effect performance. After not being able to resolve the issue I ''Reset'' my PC. This cleared my hard drive and everything on it and created a fresh install of Windows. The performance is a little better as expected with a fresh start. I have ruled out the possibility of it being Data/Apps causing the 100% disk usage (as i cleaned the drive) and ruled out the possibility of it being Windows causing the problem (as i reinstalled windows)


After Fresh Windows 10 Install:

I notice the 100% disk usage now after resetting my PC is only hitting 100% for 1-2 minutes at most and remaining at 0%-10% when idle.


I haven't noticed any difference in performance even before resetting my PC but what i see in task manager is that the following applications are using the disk usage

Antimalware Service Executable
Service host: Sysmain
Internet Browser: Firefox
Windows App: Groove Music


Question:

Is it normal for my disk usage to be at 100% for 1-2 minutes from doing tasks such as using 3-4 tabs on Firefox and using the Windows app ''Groove Music''


Thanks in advance.

How to format hard drive and still keep windows 10?

Hi all,

I have a laptop that came with windows 7. I just recently updated to windows 10 with the OTA update.

I would like to clean out my hard drive but still want to keep a genuine windows 10 (like I have installed a fresh copy of windows 10). How can I do it?

Thank you
