Windows 10: Windows loading slowly - C:\@MsftNTFS Master File Table

Hello,


My computer is showing 100% disk usage.


C:\@MsftNTFS Master File Table is shown in task manager - resource managers. It is at 100%


It then subsides after about 5 minutes.


Any ideas what is going on?


Windows 10

Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042



Thanks,

C:\$Mft (NTFS Master File Table) Making the HD spin

Hello,

Occasionally, I will turn on my computer and it takes a very long time for anything to work.

Check performance monitor and

C:\$Mft (NTFS Master File Table)

and

there are may processes like this one:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\mpcache-8E3A95FB68F5E74F41E93DF6160C693FF730F8FE.bin.7E
0

are making my HD access at 50% (it never goes higher than this), after about 15 minutes it subsides.

I have turned off almost all the start up apps.

Suggestions as to what is happening?

 

Master File Table

Doing a defrag command, Master File Table is seen to be at 100% used. What can I do to reduce it to a more acceptable level?

Thanks in advance.
