Windows 10: windows 10 disk is always 100% and my laptop is useless for long periods of time

I've tried lots of things to try to fix the problem. Disable SuperFetch...disable Windows Search (which I have not been able to do), etc. etc.

Nothing seems to work. Any real ideas on how to fix this problem once and for all?

:)

100% Disk with Newer HP Laptop and Windows 10

I have a relatively new HP laptop running Windows 10 that is showing 100% disk usage in Task Manager. I have tried all the commonly suggested fixes including:

• Restoring the system to factory settings and scrubbing the drives. (To ensure I didn't have a virus, malware, or corrupt driver)
• Installing all Windows updates
• Disabling windows search & smartfetch (Changed smartfetch in the registry to 0 so that it never runs)
• Disabling automatic windows updates
• Uninstalling One Drive
• Changing the size of data that can be cached to the hard disk based on the RAM
• Running diagnotics on the hardware
• Delaying start of all possible apps that don't need to run at start up

Is there some update / patch for Windows 10 that I can apply? Are there any other suggestions that someone can offer?

 

laptop runs at 100% disk


I purchased a Lenovo laptop 6 weeks ago from a reputable local retailer. I was traveling and started using the laptop after my return, which unfortunately was after the 30 day return policy. The laptop runs at 100% disk at start up and continues for some time, making it useless to use. After waking up it does the same thing. I've seen plenty of online posts describing the same problem with suggestions for a fix, nothing that's worked. I'm not asking for a fix just pointing out what a disaster this problem is, so much so that it just sits there while I use my wife's Mac Book...if you can imagine.
