    Random freezes / 100% disk usage on win10


    Hello everybody,

    so recently I have been getting trouble with some random freezes on my pc. The first thing I noticed when I took a look into the task manager was the usual disk usage of 1-2% spiked up to 100% for about 5-15 seconds. Usually this happens every 3-15 minutes. During this time the pc froze almost completely. The affected disk is my C:\ SSD and it is also the one I have installed windows on.

    I have already updated windows multiple times, followed some guides on "100% disk usage", which reccommend disabling certain services such as superfetch or the windows search function. I also stumbled upon this windows performance analyzer tool, which I thought could be helpful (I included some screenshots).

    I really have no clue where to look, or if there even is a way to fix it. If you need any additional info, I will be happy to answer.
    Thanks in advance

    :)

    Random 100% disk usage spike causing frozen system


    ok, there's nothing wrong with my disk.

    But I was playing a pc game on this, and laptop froze twice while the disk usage shot to 100%
    with no read or write occurring.

    Once it finishes whatever it's doing, I can resume using my computer.

    What the hell is this bug no one has been able to figure out?

    This is the same thing I'm talking about, but it looks like some cockroach that can't be killed.

    my system driver is iastorA.sys, but the generic ahci.sys driver affects many computers as well.
    Both drivers cause Error 129

    stupid win10 bug.

    100% disk usage

    The most common cause of 100% disk usage appears to be Superfetch and Prefetch, but there are also other causes. You can try disabling both these features and see if it helps.

    This article provides steps to disable prefecth and superfetch:
