Windows 10: system using high disk usage after upgrading to windows 11, what can I do to fix it?

Last night I finally decided to upgrade to windows 11. I got back onto my new pc and the "system" process is using up a lot of the disc. It used to do this for only about like 10 minutes after initial start, but its been roughly 2 hours and it still hasn't died down at all. Can anyone give me tips on how to fix this?

Windows 10 & 11 idle high ssd usage and high cpu usage

Hi Dushan. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.

1) Run the SSD maker's diagnostic toolkit from the Support Downloads web page for the drive model; if none then use one of these:

5) If that doesn't fix it then you can do a Windows 11 Repair Upgrade which reinstalls Windows while saving your files and apps in place, brings it up to the latest version by the most stable method, takes about an hour and resolves most problems: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/repair-install-wi...
