    Clean install, disk usage at 100%

    I've seen that article. and I am in fact not running that driver. I followed the steps and it does not appear in the list.

    "System" Service Using 100% disk

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Did you notice any changes on the computer prior to this issue?

    What is the make and model of the computer?

    One of the possible reasons for this issue is Advanced Host Controller Interface PCI-Express (AHCI PCIe) running with AtorAHCI.sys driver. Please refer to the article:
    Task Manager shows 100% disk utilization on Windows 10 devices

    I also suggest to try the steps mentioned in the article: Improve system performance in
    Windows 10     and let us know the status of the issue.

    Hope it helps.

    Disk utilization 100% in Task manager

    My laptop shows 100% disk utilization in the task manager for the first 20-30 mins after I start my machine. During this time when it is 100%, system performance is very slow. After 30 mins, disk utilization drops again under 20% and everything is normal.

    I tried reaching out to Microsoft help a couple of times in the past and they suggested me to update my windows. That may have resolved the issue temporarily for few days but it starts behaving like this again.
