  1. Windows 10 disk spiking or running at 100%


    I’ve been having an issue with my PC running slowly and the disk usage being stuck at 100% or randomly spiking when no programs are running.This is a brand new hard drive, with a brand new installation of windows. I’ve scanned for viruses and nothing has shown up. My CPU and Memory usage is very steady and not spiking or running high. My computer is also not overheating. The only issue is the hard drive running high or spiking.Could this be indicative of a fault with another component in the pc?Thanks

    :)

    100% Disk usage spike on Windows 10

    Recently I have experienced that when running most applications (especially gaming) my Laptop would have a disk usage spike to 99% or 100%. when I check the task manager there is no specific program using the disk, its just at 100% usually forcing me to
    do a hard restart. baring in mind that when I run the programs the usually run smoothly and very randomly the disk usage spikes. this has only been happening since downloading windows 10. I have read many threads and applied many fixes such as disabling SuperFetch,
    BIT service and windows update. I have also disable cloud based protection which seemed to work for some people but not for me, any other suggestions?

  3. Windows 10 disk keeps spiking to 100%

    Hi,

    My disk keeps spiking to 100% since I upgraded to Windows 10. I upgraded in September and the problem started with little infrequent spikes where the disk would stay at 100% for a few seconds. However since September the problem has got progressively worse
    and now the disk usage frequently reaches 100% and it stays at 100% for about 5 minutes.

    I've tried various solutions on the internet to 100% disk but none of them have worked.
