Windows 10: Why is my computer showing 100% Disc Capacity after installing KB5048239 update?

If anyone has any ideas, I am absolutely desperate. I installed the KB5048239 a few days ago and my Dell PC went from running like a champ to being unable to open settings. The only thing I can do is open task manager and do keyboard prompts, I can’t even use the search feature to open cmd no matter how long I let it sit and process.The task manager shows 100% Disc but only a few programs are running and seem to take up 0.1 or 0.2 at most. I have tried restarting it, shutting it down and leaving it off for a day, and uninstalling the update, but NOTHING is working. I need my PC back to work.My

Disc Usage at 100%

Hi Andre,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I started going through your list of suggestions.

I have switched off all background apps. I was horrified to see so many.

I then disabled windows update.

At that stage I thought I would check out disc usage on task manager.

Disc activity had gone down dramatically and in the performance tag activity was very low, it spiked from time to time if I did something on the PC but the speed on all activity was back to normal.

I thought I would leave things as they were and see if things stayed the same.

No problems at all until this afternoon I was trying to look at a file via windows explorer and got the message "not responding". A quick look at task manager and disc activity is 100% again. Everything slows down. I close down some screens and the desk
top turns black.

The only way I can get a display up again is "alt" + "tab". The task bar has disappeared. I decided to reboot but the only way I can do that is with the on'/off switch.

The PC reboots. I check that all the apps are still switched off and windows update is still disabled, Disc activity is still 100%.

As I type this disc activity has suddenly dropped. it keeps spiking to 100% but then reverts back to about 12%.

Is this normal or is there something else I should do.

Back to 100% now. How do I find out what is actually happening, what activity is the disc doing?

I am confused.

Any suggestions?

 

Insurgency wont install and run for me....

I have played and have fully updated CS and Half life 2....
I am using the newest client and installed the SDK.

I am completely blown away, if i click the desktop icon it starts the sdk and then closes, and it doesn't show up in my game list...

First mod attempt install here, followed the directions step by step on the mods website...

Any ideas?

 

100% disc after updates on August 11th

Windows 10 - Lattitude 5501 - 9 months old. On 8/11/2020 Microsoft installed 2 updates and 1 security update. On 8/13 after rebooting, the computer started running at 100% disc. Tried going back to restore point of 8/7/2020. Restore ran for a long time
but finished and said it was successful. Said to restart.

Computer would no longer boot.

Ran diagnostics - nothing found.

Contacted Dell - reinstalled clean windows from USB drive. - Still running at 100% disc

Contacted Dell - they sent me a new hard drive with the windows installation already installed on it and tech installed - still running at 100% disc without installing any programs.

Ran windows updates - still running at 100% disc

Contacted Dell - they sent me a new motherboard and tech installed - still running at 100%

Boot takes 3 times longer or more to boot.

Even trying to open task manager - takes a good 1 minute before it even moves and then goes to 100%

Launch a program and 100%.

So new hard drive, factory installed windows 10, new motherboard.... still 100% disc.

This is ridiculous. I need help please!!! There are a ton of people with this problem in this community. How do we get help. My laptop is useless!
