Windows 10: Windows 10 - HDD running at 100% after factory reset

Hi, I recently did a factory reset on my windows 10 HP laptop as it was running slow. After the format there was lag when opening the browser and apps. When I checked the task manager I found that the Disk was running at 100% causing the lag. How do I fix this? I tried most of methods that I found online but it's now working for me. I did another clean installation of windows wiping all my data again but still no use. Now I have no apps or antivirus or any other files in my drives but only windows.Things that I've tried till now:1. Running check disk : chkdsk.exe /f /r&nb

CPU Usage 100% after HDD format

Hi there,

I went on a download-frenzy and thought that I might've picked up a virus.. my computer had a bunch of useless crap on it anyways so I decided to just format the HDD. (reset to factory settings). I found out that formatting the HDD doesn't always remove every
type of virus, but like I said, the HDD needed a cleaning anyways.

So after I formatted the HDD and reinstalled the win10 OS, I decided that my first order of business was downloading a game that wasn't running so great before the factory reset.. to my surprise, it was still running like sh*t!! Despite the factory reset and
having more than the required specs.

**I opened up task manager to check processes and noticed CPU usage was at 100%.. Memory usage was above 30%, and disk usage was 100% (and fluctuating).

Did extensive research to find out that it was most likely a driver issue? .. apparently Microsoft isn't always the best at choosing drivers? .. idk how it works, and frankly Idc.. I just want my computer to run the games I want.

I went to device manager and disabled a Network Adapter (WiFi Adapter), and that made a noticeable difference to the CPU. (idling at around 14-16%). When I enabled it, the CPU spiked to 100% again. Could be one of the culprits?

Also, there was 64 Background Processes and 28 Windows processes before I even had the chance to touch anything after the OS reinstall.. is that normal?

Suggestions/opinions?
