Windows 10: Task manager freeze and general slowiness after VM excessive usage

Using a 3D application I arrived to allocate 110GB of memory on my system with 32GB of physical RAM.
With the F: HDD working at 100% for 1h and the whole system unresponsive I decided to kill the app.

The VM is managed from Win10, that decided to don't use the main C: OS SSD since not enough space is available.

Now every time I open the task manager this freeze after a couple of seconds.
Other monitoring tools such as Moo System Monitor are instead working fine.

I searched the pagefile.sys but appear to have returned to a normal size. Primary C SSD drive was almost filled from a hyberfil.sys huge file, so I disabled hybernation to gain space.
The system also need a long time for opening explorer the F: HDD drive.

Not sure what else to do, want to ask some advice.

Windows 10 excessive bandwidth usage

Kindly try performing a Clean Boot on your PC. A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts causes excessive bandwidth usage.
You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot. To do so, follow these steps:

• Log in to your PC with an account with administrator rights.
• On the Search box, type msconfig and press Enter.
• On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click Disable all.
• On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
• On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable.

Keep us posted.

 

Task Manager High CPU Usage

I have the same problem myself with it only happens when I scroll through task manager and open and close it. I don't know this for sure but the reason this probably happens is that you may have a lot of processes running and task manager is using a lot
of the CPU to process the usage of each program.

What I have done is disable data that I don't need to see like network usage and GPU usage and it drops the CPU usage a bit. I have also enabled everything and scrolled up and down on it and task manager uses almost twice as much.

I would suggest disabling everything but CPU, disk, and RAM, (I would not suggest having GPU on because it is almost always at 99% unless you have FPS limits).

 

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?
