  3. 100% disk usage on Windows 10

    I have been having 100% disk usage off and on for several months. I have tried all steps from every suggestion I can find and nothing resolves the issue. I finally reset to a fresh install of Windows (wiping out all of my files and programs). Here I am
    with nothing on this computer, two programs open (Task Manager and Chrome), bouncing between 22-100% disk usage. Please help! I'm at my wits end! I have a Intel Core i7-7500 CPU @ 2.75 GHz, 2tb hard drive and 16 GB RAM

    Disk Usage 100% in DELL , Windows 10

    Hello ,

    I recently purchased DELL inspiron with 4GB ram , HDD disk .

    This pc has been running so slow since the begging , then I observed the disk usage which spins 100% , I cant Animate , open apps quickly , Run visual studio code properly, play high graphic games.

    For information I have done almost all the suggested steps from internet , My last hope is Microsoft

    1) disabling Superfetch , search

    2) All drivers Updated

    3) Set High performance

    4) reinstalled Windows (2 times)

    5) defragmentation ....etc

    Please take this problem seriously this is my 3rd DELL Machine which has the same problem .
