    WINDOWS 10 . HIGH CPU, MEMORY AND DISK USAGE


    Suddenly I'm having the concerning issue of all programs and processes I run Utilizing absurd amounts of my resources. Having Google Chrome alone open can use up to 60% of my memory, 8-40% CPU and 50% disk space. Opening Minecraft and other games can utilize 100% disk space and around 80% for memory and cpu. I've tried Solutions like defrag, I don't think its the problem of superfetch or a background program, as like i said, it is the Average programs I open, to which all of my resources seem to go.

    Something to note: my Paged Pool under memory usage is 169 and Non-paged pool is 219MB im not sure if this is relevant or not

    but i would appreciate any sort of advice or tips.

    :)

    High Disk/Memory usage

    It has been about more than 2 weeks since I re-installed windows 10. Issue still occurs, it's really frustrating. Your steps didn't helped. CPU usages is okay, not really high, but disk usage always goes at least to 70% when I open any program on my computer.
