    System process disk usage when loading game

  2. High Disk Usage Due to "System" Process?

    So ive been struggling and racking my brain trying to figure out why my disk usage is high to a "system process"... I have tried everything I discovered on the web. These include disabling MSI, disabling windows search, disabling connected user tracking
    (a.k.a. DiagTrack), also looked into registry errors, and i can not figure it out. If anyone has any input or thought its be greatly apprciated.

    My current system build:

    • AMD Ryzen7 1700
    • Gigabyte AX370- K7 Gaming
    • 16GB Corsair Vengence RAM
    • Gigabyte GTX1080
    • 1TB Western Digital HDD
