Windows 10: sound device and disk usage

Hi,I bought a new computer which is installed windows 10. After that, OS asked me to install win11 and I accept it. Once installation done, everything was well. Now, every time starting computer, disk usage is 100% for 5 minutes but nothing using disk. Also, I can't guess or decide which application use which sound output. An application using speaker, another one using earphone, and i can't change it on mixer. I feel regret to switch windows 11.

Sometimes your computer could run very slow even though you have only very few programs running. Since you're having issue with your 100% disk usage, it is always suggested that you keep your device drivers updated to eliminate the possibility of such problems.

Let us walk you through some steps that may help us resolve your issue. Follow the steps below:

Step 1:
Update device drivers.

This will help us remove/delete any corrupted data and issues with the PC hardware and make their operations work.

Step 2: Disable Antivirus Software and Windows Defender.

If you have installed antivirus or anti-malware programs such as Norton, Kaspersky, AVG, or Malwarebytes, it is suggested that you turn them off or disable them temporary to see if the disk usage could be back to normal. If the antivirus or anti-malware
software is at fault, we suggest that you consult the software manufacturers to see if they can provide some help.
