Windows 10: Task manager 100%

I have a problem where task manager states i am using 100% of my cpu when i am not, no matter what i shut down task manager replaces it with something else to put my usage back to 100% the laptop is fast getting unusable.

Task manager showing disk usage 100%

100% disk usage can have many causes.

What are the top 5 processes listed in the task manager using the disk?

 

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

I have:

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.

Hi AKHILKUMARV.G,

Start your laptop and let it settle down for a couple of minutes

Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

Leave that open to monitor your PC

Click on the column header that is at 100% so the arrow faces down

What are the top 5 processes listed at that time
