  1. SSD usage peaks at 100% and Windows freezes for a few seconds


    Hi, recently I bought a SSD (Kingston SA400S37480G) and installed Windows 10 in it. But, sometimes, the Task Manager shows a 100% usage of it, even though nothing is running or the usage is very low for it to freeze. Then, I have to wait a few seconds for Windows to come back.

    It is really bothering me, because I use my PC to play online games and I get impaired for a few seconds in the middle of a match, for example, which affects my performance. I used to have Windows installed in my HDD and no freezes like these used to happen.

    My drivers for the SSD are in AHCI, the BIOS is also configured to AHCI, the system event log does not contain any events with Event ID 129, and I have already ran the '' DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth'' and the ''sfc /scannow'' commands and there were no errors.

    Can someone help me?

    Sincerely.

    :)

    System and Compressed memory frequently runs at 100% Disk usage

    I think this is the only post someone got a comment this might be caused by the antivirus.

    Also other possibilities to try:

    Disk usage always at 100% - [Solved] - Windows 10

    Did all the suggestions, replaced my Avast-free with Avira-free antivirus, disabled superfetch and windows tips. Checked the possibility with defining the virtual memory, but it works much better when leaving it as automatically set by windows.

    Just checked the results by trying to peak my memory usage (what uncovered the problem with the system and compressed memory in the first place) and this seems to work very well. If before the peak to 100% HD use and memory peak got my computer stuck for
    minutes, now i can see the peaks, but it falls back after a second or two, and the computer runs smoothly.

    Hope it will help others.

    (ntoskrnl.exe; System and compressed memory process; win 10; 100% HDD use; High CPU usage)

    WINDOW ISSUES- HANGING FREEZING AND 100% DISK USAGE

    DID THE BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS LIKE 10 TIMES WITH THE HELP OF MICROSOFT CHAT AND PHONE SUPPORT STILL THE PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED.

    WINDOWS FREEZES UNEXPECTEDLY (NOT EVEN THE MOUSE POINTER WORKS), NO KEYS WORK ONLY FORCE RESTART REMAINS AS THE LAST RESORT WHICH LEADS TO DATA LOSS.

    DATA USAGE IN TASK MANAGER IS USUALLY AT 100% EVEN WHEN NO OR LESS APPLICATIONS ARE BEING USED

    100% disk usage and memory usage

    Hi,

    100% disk usage and memory usage can be caused by a software corruption, running application running on the background and malware or virus infection.

    For us to properly isolate the issue and provide an appropriate resolution, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Did the issue happen after installing the Fall Creators?
    • Did you receive any error messages?
    • Can you send us the screenshot of the Task Manager showing the 100% disk usage and memory usage?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    For isolation purposes, please perform a clean boot to see if the same issue will occur. Refer to this
    article for more information on how to perform a clean boot
    in Windows.

    Looking forward to your response.
