Windows 10: System taking 100% disk

Whenever i open a app, a game, make a new tab on a browser, or reload a tap on a browser the system shoots up to 100% disk for a bit then goes back down but it gets annoying so is there a fix for this?

I've seen that article. and I am in fact not running that driver. I followed the steps and it does not appear in the list.

 

Disk Usage 100 % in Windows 10 degraded my system performance

Hi Zahid,

To help us identify the cause of the issue and then find the proper resolution for it, let us know if there were any changes made on the PC prior to the issue.

Since the steps you have taken didn't help, here are a few suggestions that you can try to resolve Windows 10 high disk usage issue:

Disable the Superfetch service.

This service is built to improve PC performance by speeding up the startup of programs and pre-loading the apps you often use into memory. If you don't do anything after powering on, it will still take up high percentage of the disk. To disable the Superfetch
service, follow these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select Computer Management.
  
• 
  Expand Services and Applications on the left column and click on
  Services.
  
• 
  Navigate to Superfetch and double-click on it, and then select
  Disable from the drop-down menu of Startup type.
  

Update the AHCI driver.

Outdated AHCI driver will affect the system performance and result in 100% disk usage in Windows 10. Furthermore, outdated, missing or broken drivers can also cause other issues like Bluetooth not working, PC not waking up from sleep, etc.

Let us know how it goes.

 

How to solve 100 % disk usage in windows 10 after fall update?

Hi Manikanteswara,

Usually, a virus could be the main cause of 100% disk usage. The first step in rectifying the problem is to check your disk usages. You need to open the Task Manager and take a look at your disk usages to identify the programs or applications that are causing
your hard disk 100% usage. Here's how:

• Type task manager in the Windows search bar and select the best match.
  
• In the Processes tab, look at the disk process to see what is causing your hard disk 100% usage.

Kindly send a screenshot, so I can take a closer look.

Hoping to hear from you soon.
