Windows 10: System frozen for some time after boot up -- seems disk is 100% busy from task manager....

After upgrade to win 10 version 2004 the newest version. Quite often the system frozen due to the disk is 100% busy. As matter of fact this condition happen very ofter even some app can be executed seems slow.

Disk 100% busy, System Unusable

• Windows 10 Education Ed, version 1709
• 1 x SSD boot disk
• Storage Space Device of 2 x 2TB disks mirrored

This is a recent change in behaviour, new in the last 1-3 months I would guess. My Storage Space Device frequently goes to 100% busy, rendering my system more or less inoperable. Any process / event that touches the Storage Space Device results in this behaviour.
I don't see anything relevant in the Event Viewer.

I've tried many of the online suggestions such as disabling search and SuperFetch but that has not helped.

Just now I was trying to update a route in Garmin Basecamp. When I initiated the route recalculation, the Storage Space Device went to 100% busy and stayed there for 10 - 15 minutes or so with the route recalculation showing now progress. Then disk activity
suddenly went to zero and the route recalculation completed in what I would consider a "normal" amount of time.

Last week I was trying to copy music files between my NAS and my desktop, but had the same problems.

Task Manager has Disk at 100% when only 0 - 3 mg are shown as used

I have done both of these each time I have reinstalled Windows 10

1) Formatted my disk and partitioned it as needed for Windows 10

1) Installed Windows 10 Home Edition 64 bit

2) Disabled Superfetch

3) Disabled Windows Search

4) Disabled BITS

5) Uninstalled Skype and SkypeHost.exe

6) Set MSISupported to "0" in registry

After each step I would reboot my computer and get the same problem 100% Disk in Task Manager

2) Installed Norton Antivirus and disabled Windows Defender and rebooted.

1) The system booted and hit 100% in Task Manager for about 5 minutes.

2) Attempted to open Windows Notepad and the Task Manager went back to 100% Disk.

In all instances the Task Manager Disk Listing would show between 0.3 and 2.5 total usage and still show the Disk at 100% on the top freezing the computer.
