Abnormal disk usage caused by HxTsr.exe

Yeah, I went a step further and just removed my accounts from the built in mail app. Don't need the added hassle of having to deal with abnormal disk spikes which just put unnecessary wear on my SSD. This fix works though, so thanks.

 

100% usage on disk

No problem. In the event that Norton's defaults do not resolve the disk usage, follow the guide to Perform a Clean Boot in Windows 10 to Troubleshoot Software Conflicts and see if you can determine whether a service/process is causing issues. After step 7. in Part Two, check whether the clean boot resolved the disk usage before proceeding to step 11.

 

Windows 11 NTFS file system 100% disk usage

Hello,

I recently installed Windows 11 Home alongside an Ubuntu 22.04 operating system. I have 1TB HDD and I allocated 390GiB for Windows 11. I selected NTFS file system. Unfortunately, the PC is incredible slow because of 100 percent disk usage. For example, It took (literally) 5 minutes to open a simple Microsoft Edge application.

I have tried to fix the issue using the following resources: How to Fix 100% Disk Usage in Windows 11 (12 Effective Ways) and Windows 11 100% disk usage. None of them helped: Install all Windows update, Disable SysMain service, Disable Telemetry service, Disable Windows Search, Disable Startup Apps, Disable MSI Mode, Run Disk Check (with all NTFS option), Perform a Clean Install, Defragment the Disk.

Note that: I got an 5% fragmentation on the disk. After I defragmented the disk, the disk usage was magically decreased and everything was fast. However, when I restarted the PC then the disk usage was again 100 percent. I defragmented (the 0% fragmented disk) again but it did not help. One important thing is that the disk read/write operations are couple of KiBs on the Ubuntu 22.04 system. The disk read/write operations are multiple hundreds of KiBs on the Windows 11 system.

System Information:

• Dell Inspiron 3580 x64 based laptop
  
• Processor: Intel Core i5-8265U
  
• Memory: 16GiB RAM and 2.86GiB Page file
  
• Free space: 261.86GiB
  
• Disk: ST1000LM035-1RK172
  

I wrote this question because now I feel hopeless. I am unable to resolve the disk usage problem by myself. Support is highly appreciated!
