Windows 10: Very High Disk Usage Caused by Windows Event Log

So I just reset my Laptop because of another problem and since I reset it and Install some basic software like office and Nvidia driver while also checking and updating updates via windows update, I've been noticing that the disk usage of my laptop is relatively high (usually stay at 100% but it could drop till 80% or so), even though I only opened task manager. I've been leaving my laptop on overnight and looking at the task manager while not running any program for about an hours and the usage is still the same. And btw the second highest consumption would be "system", it usually could take 1-2 MB/s lower than the windows event log.


Have doing some browsing in the internet and have done several things like clearing the log (including tick the overwrite option). Btw, i hardly find any error in the event viewer, just lots of 'Information report' one. I also make sure to properly check windows update to make sure my pc is up to date.


Anyone know whether this is normal (since i dont remember it being like this) and the solution for this matter? I would really appreciate any help, thank you!

High Disk Usage


Hi all, I'm struggling with finding things to fix my high disk usage. I've spent many months searching the internet and doing all the listed suggestions like disabling SuperFetch, Windows Defender, Updating drivers, ect. and still I'm stuck with a high disk usage. Here's a screen shot I took immediately following a restart and opening up to a new Firefox window.





I have noticed Service Host: Local System takes up quite a bit of disk usage and that if I close it and let it open back up all by itself then it immediately makes my disk usage drop into a much more manageable 40-60% usage range. But eventually after a while it maxes out again and I have to close it out again. It's an annoying step just to be able to use my computer.

Also, I have noticed that after working with my mom's computer today, that her disk usage when no programs are running is only like 5%. Makes me wonder why my computer can have no programs running but my disk usage never drops below 30% and sits in the 40-60% range with spikes up over 75%.

I honestly don't know enough about computers to do much more than I already have without causing major issues. BTW, just a couple weeks ago I had to do a Windows reinstall, not a complete reinstall, just the basic reinstall they allow you to do on Windows 10 where you still keep all your personal files. Ever since that a lot of times when I try to open a process like Run or Task Manager I'll get an error message that it can't open and then I do it again and it will open the second time.

Here's a screenshot of my computer information so you can see what I'm working with here.
