    "System" process causing 100% disk usage.

    I have a strange problem past few months. My laptop is slow in boot and has performance issues although my CPU, GPU and memory usage never hits above 50% but the process "system" utilizes about 15mb-30mb in hdd and therefore my disk usage is never under
    90%.

    Step I have tried:

    1:Ran antivirus scan and no harmful threat was found.

    2:Ran SFC /SCANNOW and endes windows found errors bit unable to fix them.

    3: Disabled many services like superftch and windows update but nothing changed

    4: Tried an update but nothing changed.

    5: turned dep on and off.

    My laptop specs

    4gb ram

    AMD A6 7310 processor

    AMD R4 graphics

    Looking forward for a fix.

    'System' Process taking up an absurd amount of disk usage 90% +

    Disk usage 100%

    Hi,

    I recently installed a new motherboard and CPU, since doing this I have noticed that my disk usage always hits 90-100% frequently.

    From what have seen under task manager its the system hogging this mostly, but varies as then it can be service host taking up disk usage.

    I have read all the other answers and disabled everything that the forums have suggested yet i still have the same problem!

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try ?

    Thanks
