my disc is showing 100% usage on task manager

my disc is showing 100% usage on task manager

 

Task Manager Performance tab shows drive C: usage at 89% always.

I have a Windows 10 Pro system with all updates installed. The Task Manager Performance tab shows C: usage at 89% all of the time with only slight variations in the percentage. The Processes tab shows disk usage at about 40%. The only process using the disk
is System.

Disk defragmentation is disabled. File indexing is disabled. There are only five apps listed on the Startup tab including OneDrive and Windows Security Notifications. I have disabled the other three with no change in C: usage.

I have other PCs running the same version of Windows that do not have this problem. The only thing that is unique about the system with the problem is that C: is a software RAID 1 array consisting of two identical 4TB drives configured as RAID 1 in Disk
Manager. Is it normal for Task Manager to show continuous disk access for a Windows RAID 1 array? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

 

Disc Space usage under Task Manager is showing 100% in Windows 10.

Hi Luke,



Thank you for your response with the current status of the issue.



I suggest you to check which processes is consuming the disk space in the task manager and check if it helps.

1. Right click on Taskbar.

2. Click on Task Manager.

3. Then click on Performance.

4. Click on Open Resource Monitor.

5. Then click on Disk tab.

6. Check which processes is running in the list.

Note: When we start the computer and login to it. Then at that point of time if you check for the disk space usage in the Task Manager, then the Disk Space might be at 100% active state and after few minutes later it will get reduce.

Let us know if you need any further assistance on Windows related issues and we will be glad to help.
