Windows 10: Windows 10 Task Manager 100% CPU and C: disk usage

I am having a problem with the task manager that I cannot seem to locate. This started about 4 days ago. I have Windows 10 on a I7-4770K CPU, 16gig, using an Nvidia 780Ti. Anytime I call up the task manager using the CTL-ALT-DEL the screen shows 100% cpu and disk C: usage at the top even though each individual entry shows all zeros (which sure can't be right). If I select any entry to kill the process (non-windows process) the TM wont kill it. Also, if I click the close button to shut it down it freezes for almost 3 minutes before closing down and during this time the HD is running constantly. I've run a sfc /scannow and it returned no errors. ProcessExplorer works just fine so it's the task manager. I have made no changes to my system except the last update that came through. Any help would be appreciated as it is becoming VERY irritating. Maybe I should have went with Linux. Thanx.

Windows 10 100% disk usage in Task Manager


Hi,
i have dell inspiron 15 , 5000 series , OS is windows 10 64 bit.


Recently i had a problem at the laptop:
Disk utilization is quite constant at 100% even though no program runs parallel and there is no traffic between the hard disk and the external device.
I searched in Google for solutions and found this issue quite common in Windows 10. I tried all the options from the solutions offered in the links but without any success :
1. Windows 10 100% disk usage in Task Manager [SOLVED] - Driver Easy
2. How to Fix: 100% Disk Usage on Windows 10 Task Manager


I also tried to run a disk repair on Windows 10 and even "Reset to default" of the windows which means getting clean operating system - deleting all the files that I had and that did not help either.
Still after booting the computer and during work the disk utilization is 100% fand the computer is very very slow.
Do you have a solution?
Is the hard disk malformed and is this what causes windows to show 100% disk utilization ?
