    Very high disk usage


    *Confused
    What's happening guys,
    I've decided to finally let the experts assist me since I've been really yanking my nerves and wasting time on maybe bad thought solutions.
    Okay so the issue is I'm getting a constant high disk usage without even having anything running
    here's a screenshot of my problem

    Very high disk usage [​IMG]

    And well, so far I've tried the ''deactivate 'windows search' and 'superfetch''' and it hasn't really done the trick
    Also I resetted my pc yesterday, as of now I'm running a clean install of Windows 10.
    Did the ''turn off notifications from Windows''
    and really nothing, I've also defrag quite some times with Defraggler and DiskDefrag and nothing.

    Could you guys lend me a hand? I really need this laptop for school.
    Thanks for reading


    *EDIT* It's a problem since my system is acting very unresponsive and some times freeze of applications occur

    :)

  2. HELP! RuntimeBroker.exe is crippling my laptop!

    I actually did that but still had the issue come up which is why I disabled Live tiles as a precaution. The symptoms I have seen are slightly different than everyone else mostly consisting of 100% disk usage but did have very high CPU usage at first before
    I disabled the Show me tips about Windows option. After that it was just high hard disk usage but disabling the tiles has helped a bit at least for now. I am still watching the hard disk and memory usage but so far it is at least stable.

    Edit: It crashed again after 45 minutes, the problem is still occurring no matter what I try

    Edit2: It is now crashing at least once an hour because of the high hard disk usage

    Very high disk usage

    Ok, so guys
    I'm going to go buy a new hard drive, maybe even a SSD
    do you think I'm doing a good thing?
    Over some tests/scans by hard drive health status I got a similar factor each, which is that my hard drive has ''bad sectors'' and also has a bad health, here's a screenshot:


    Very high disk usage [​IMG]

    also I'm already downloading Windows 10 and creating a USB installation stick

    I REAAAAALLY need someone to reply

    Yeah I wish I had an SSD for my OS. I use a 7200RPM 1TB HD for my OS and 7200RPM 3TB for my games and an external HD for my media. It's not horrible, but only having a single drive, because you have a laptop, SSD is probably the best way to go. They aren't cheap and their storage is much lower than a HDD, but it's 10x faster transfer speed and doesn't require a "spin-up" time.

    Ended up acquiring a 256gb Kingston SSD, it just flies, thanks for everything.
    As it turns out my hard drive was the one giving me trobule, have a good one *Smile
