Windows 10 high CPU, Memory and disk usage

Hi Stuart,

In most cases, outdated drivers are the most probable reasons for this issue for high CPU, memory, and disk usage. Also, running a program that requires a high memory also results in this kind of issue. For us to effectively assist you, kindly provide us
the information we need below:

• Have you checked if there are any pending updates for Windows 10?
• Have you checked what program is causing the issue?
• Have you checked if you have any outdated drivers?

We would suggest disabling third-party antivirus programs (if you're using any) as they are known to cause issues in downloading and installing updates.

NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should
re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
